Today I would like to give the Australian photogra

Today I would like to give the Australian photographer @janeburton a shout out <3 I have used Jane Burton's work in some of my blog posts because her images are so atmospherical, often with a dark or edgy touch that so suit and sometimes inspire my lyrical images and written observations.
Plus: I am a huge fan of art photography and especially enjoy still lifes.
This photograph is titled "Nature Mort (Morella)" from 2020/21

This is what another art enthusiast has to say:

"In Jane Burton’s unearthly world (or is it a worldly unearthing?), at the hour of the wolf, hungry ghosts will climb from their graves and from their lovers’ beds; the light shimmers as if reflected off a serpent’s skin, and the atmosphere clings like a veil, like surgical gauze, around a fevered body."

– Edward Colless, art lecturer

Doing a lot of soul searching, writing, digging through old photographs, just trying to become the person I was meant to be. This photograph is dear to me because of the location, 🇫🇷 Perigord and the dogs. Dogs and diaries have been my constant companions for most of my life.

Studio time!!!! 🎤🎧Sneak preview of the rough mix of a new song I just recorded! The band came in on Saturday and this evening I recorded my vocals.
Roter Mond is a very moving and very German song about loss, hope and belonging; written by the songwriter @herbertgroenemeyer originally a kind of rock ballad but now, recorded in L. A. With a Latin touch…

Today I treated myself to the most gorgeous ring with roses in silver and mother of pearl and a sparkly Rose Quartz stone. #rosequartz is known as a healing crystal and the stone of unconditional love and boosts feelings of peace and calm… 🌹💗💍🕊😌

That little paw… I woke up this morning from being ever so softly stroked on my cheek by this little kitty cat. A gentle reminder that it was time for breakfast - if only it hadn’t been at 5:30 am! 🐈
