mansardroof image flickrPhotography is much like looking into the soul of it's creator. What's fixating is to look through the end of the camera lens of a talented teen photographer; an adult - deeply, passionately entrenched in it's infancy stage.
The creative well thought out images are like looking into a mirror of your days past. You feel their joy, understand the angst and you marvel at knowing that before them are uncharted waters. Rolling waves of feelings on the tips of ones fingers.
If I were writing a screen-play, this is where I would fade into said scene with the Nirvana song, "Smells Like Teen Spirit." The moody grunge song building into an accarezzévole (expressive & caressing) accelerando (accelerating; gradually increasing the tempo) and as loud as your ear-drums can suffer. After all you are young, and impending deafness is 'narry a worry'.
I must be longing for my youth today...............

Deb...it looks like youre longing for your youth AND Seattle. Well just so you know...it's freezing and raining here today...on Seafair weekend no less! The Blue Angels are hidden by all the clouds. ;)
The memories of our youth provide such an escape from the present with all of it's "stuff". I wish Kurt's youthful memories would have done that for him...what a wise (but tortured)soul.
Thanks for the peak at these great images...hope all is going well with your house!

Kurt Cobain is my all time fav and some very cool photography. Great post and excellent quotes you chose. <3
Have you ever seen the work of fashion photographer, Tim Walker? I think you'd love it! He's so imaginative!
Wow...
wonderful, love that tear jar!

Fabulous! Such a shame I didn't have a mason jar when I needed one but would I have been wise enough to use it. Have a lovely, lovely week. Leigh
I am so with you...I long for my youth. In summer, my kids are home with their friends and seeing them brings me back to my college days with all its traumas, adventures, highs and lows...the wild 80's...Ibiza, 54, job in Saint tropez...the problem is that I still feel as this young wild fearless girl and it sometimes so hard to act and behave a a grown up...don't you think?? I forgot to mention I used to follow Pink Floyd and Yes, spent nights listening to Leonard Cohen and Cat Stevens...Really hope that you will make it to New York one day, we could reminisce on our youth past and have a great old time...Francine
Dear Deb,
Fabulous images accompanied by the words of one of my favourites.
Our son and daughter were Nirvana followers and their music, along with Faith no More, Soundgaerden and Pearl Jam, blasted out on full volume, from the moment they woke up until they went to sleep !! I know them off by heart. We were in the States when he died and had tickets to see them when we got homr. So sad....what a tourtured soul.
Thanks for the trip down memory lane.....Can I come with you when you visit Feancine ?!!! I was a great YES fan too !!!!
Hope all's well with you Deb and that the house sale is going well.
We are off to Italy next week. XXXX
as always, such a creative post, Deb!! thanks
Kit
OK! It's settled! We are ALL going to Francine's!
We can sing & dance & laugh & cry & do cart wheels & drink(i bet she has the good stuff)& help her pull weeds!
Somebody better tell her...

All I can say to dumbwit tellher is Lord and Taylor! I'm with PVE on the tear jar. With three girls, I could have closets full of them!

Such a nice glimpse into those two young artists' portfolios of work. I don't know if you recall, but I, too, love photography. And I especially enjoy being behind the lens capturing whatever strikes my fancy! It really IS a wonderful medium, and it's so accessible. I mean, anyone can pick up a camera! But, of course, NOT everyone is talented... Ya either gots IT, or ya ain't gots it!
I also like how you've captured the spirit of youth, here. It resonates quite nicely.
Hope all is going well in your world, Deb! :)
Bonjour Deb,
Fabulous work by these two young girls. Lots of talent.
Congratulation, you won my French Touch giveaway. If you would be kind enough to email me your address, I get everything out to you asap!
Thanks again and bon journée!
Mimi
I hope those are tears of joy :) The hands on the steering wheel...represents so much!
Love the Sophie wilson picture on the bed.
Deb,
Great post....I must say I never listened much to Kurt Cobain, but he actually had some pretty profound statements. Too bad he wasted his life.
I miss my youthful days in ways. I like having the wisdom and life experience now, but would love to have my youthful physique!
xx
Excellent post, as always. Sad that KC is no longer with us.
Hope you have a wonderful weekend.
*kisses* HH
