“In my culture an intimate picture of the body is not something natural. My country of origin is a paternalist one. Women used to serve men and used to hide their body for very long.

On the West Coast the time for cherry blossoms has now come to an end. We were very happy to admire their beauty this year at Hakone Gardens and at Portland’s Tom McCall Waterfront Park. This was also Evelyn’s first year of seeing and touching the delicate pink petals. We are looking forward to seeing them in all their beauty again next year.
A wedding dress hung into a window of soft, afternoon light. Fresh, cool air and the smell of Tuscan cypress and olive groves. Loose, brushed hair and lace culottes. A bride pausing behind a curtain of pale ivory heirloom lace, ready to dress for her wedding day.
