I used to have many dreams, now there is but one...Dreaming of Love ♥
"Dreaming Of Love (self-portrait)"
1st place Intermediate Pictorial
05/17/10 LivermoreValleyCamera Club
April 27, 2010 Day 5 of Clinical Virology Symposium Daytona Beach Florida. I decided to go back to my hotel room for my lunch break nap. I couldn't resist the beauty and light infront of me. I got up from my bed, set up my camera and tripod and moved all the furniture (sofa bed, coffee table and floor lamp) away from the window. Imagine the window without me, empty isn't it?... So, I grabbed my Victoria Secret nightie and changed to add sexy-ness to the silhouette that I was trying to create. The long stem red rose was a great tool to emphasize my theme Dreaming Of Love...Photography is not just a serious hobby or a passion or a self-expression. Sometimes I call it Work, and sometimes I need it just to relax and stay connected with my authentic self.
"In dreams and in love there are no impossibilities."
