smile

This is a picture my father made of me when I was young. The picture of me on the left, he made a couple of weeks ago. Both pictures have the same photographer, the same girl, and the same big smile.

window garden update

Of course I knew and expected that the little plants in my window would grow, but somehow it still amazes me how much they have grown in the last couple of weeks. Here you can see how little they were just a month ago. I have seen them grow day by day, and now there is a little green jungle on my windowsill.

I love how you can see the different shapes of the leaves on the fourth photo, from left to right they are sunflower, hollyhock and red chili plants. Oh, and on the second photo you can see all my tomato plants.

This week I'll be planting the first tomato plants outside on my roof garden. I have far too many tomato plants for just my garden, so I'll be giving some of my plants to family and friends. Hopefully we'll be all eating home grown tomatoes this summer!

mini garden

 

Today I made a small garden in front of our house. Many neighbours have one as well, what makes the streets look really cheerful and pretty. I planted hollyhocks and sunflowers. If all goes well, they will reach 2 to 2,5 meters, what means that we will even be able to see them from our bedroom window. I can't wait to be greeted by sunflowers in the morning.

shadow play

 

I made these self portraits a few months ago, and even though they are a bit grainy, I do like them very much. I love how the shadows are strechted, what makes the images distorted and surreal. Almost like two sides of one character.
