Crinkle Me Like Fortuny

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Relationship has true significance only when it is a process of self-revelation, when it is revealing oneself in the very action of relationship. But most of us do not want to be revealed in relationship. On the contrary, we use relationship as a means of covering up our own insufficiency, our own troubles, our own uncertainty. So relationship becomes mere movement, mere activity. I do not know if you have noticed that relationship is very painful, and that as long as it is not a revealing process, in which you are discovering yourself, relationship is merely a means of escape from yourself.

 While I like to capture some sort of serenity in my photographs, in reality behind the scenes my life is very demanding right now, hence my lack of comments on your blogs over the last week. I'm missing visiting you all, will pop around soon to say hello I promise!
