I hear it’s #fishnetfriday. My friend D. in Manhattan would be delighted to participate. A mesh top and fishnets is her preferred attire for a quiet day at home.

Black and white photo of Licisca emerging from the water of the Tyrrhenian Sea, off the Tuscany coast. It's night, Full Moon a small dot in the distance. From the darkness only her face and shoulders are visible, while she is swimming in the water. Licisca is staring at something above, apparently ecstatic

Ex tenebris Licisca.

Colour analogue photo of a bird of paradise in front of the entrance of an old rural house in Mani, Greece. Stones, grape vines, orange flower, pale blue house and door.

Fateful encounter with a solitary bird.

One year ago in Mani.

Terrific film

One possible description of this black and white Polaroid image, showing some ink smudges: "The image presents two black-and-white portraits of a topless woman with a long ponytail. She wears a strappy leather collar and a similar harness that accentuate the figure. The left side shows her with arms raised, exuding confidence though her wrists might be tied. The right side captures a more reflective moment, hands resting on her chest and body."

Janus. "Beginnings, gates, transitions, time, duality, doorways, passages, frames, and endings."
Happy New Year to you!
(Double exposure Polaroid of Melanie. Somewhere in the Blue Ridge Foothills, North Carolina )
