hello my friends, hello!
how was your weekend & monday? did your week start in a good way? so i hope… i confess, i spent the day feeling a little bit sleppy, but it was a nice day, indeed!
so, today i have for you the weekly edition of {sneak-peeks}… focusing on photography. as you well know i am almost an addicted to flickr… oh my, the learning & inspiration are constant… the contact with talented people is amazing… and there is no other place where i could meet such nice & talented photographers and… asides all this, warm hearted souls…
when i am thinking about those i want to invite… i am actually really really careful. i love to invite and to know different people, people from all over the world. asides from photography… this is the thing that thrills me the most, getting connected to different people from all those different continents… people that live a life quite different than mine, people that travel, that moved away, that speak a different language, that have stories to tell, but besides all this difference, i often find those that have things in common with me.
… and for this edition, i invited one delicate lady… a spanish lady with dark hair and a very pure point of view. i am always delighted with the world through her eyes…
let us meet… isabel pavia.
“I’m Isabel, mother, photographer, friend, lover of the simple things in life, like sea, traveling, details, light… I live in a wonderful place called Peniscola, in Spain, just in the Mediterranean sea… and the sea plays an important role in my life.”
“I always find myself looking for light, details, shadows, smiles, flowers, sea foam… Wherever I go, photography comes with me, and the world has opened before me in a special way, showing me little things that were unnoticed before, I find beauty in places that previously I did not see anything. In short, thanks to photography my life is much richer, and this helps me to appreciate and value greatly the world around me, making me happy with the small details of everyday life.”
“I started taking pictures when I was a child, I always had a camera with me.
I think I have loved photography all my life, but since my daughter was born, five years ago, I turned this passion into my lifestyle.”
“i feel so happy in witnessing her growth and I have pics of all this past time. I wanted to capture moments and have the opportunity to relive them, return to them and build a bridge over this gap of time. Photography has been my refugee in difficult times, my motivation to keep surprising me every day. I can not imagine my life without it.”
“I love natural light, soft colors, details, bokeh, still life, nature and portraits. I really enjoy making portraits for kids and teenagers. I love outdoors sceneries, like nature and seaside.”
“I registered in Flickr last year and I’m really happy to be in this wonderful community that inspires me so much. I have learned a lot in this gorgeous place.”
“I am continuously learning from this wonderful world that fascinates me, and I would devote myself to doing photo shoots for children, teenagers and families. I would turn this passion into a way of life.”
i absolutely find isabel’s pictures pure and filled with delicateness… often with the innocence of a child.
she wrote these words in her profile… and i have connected with her through this.
“Allá donde voy, la fotografía va conmigo, y el mundo se ha abierto ante mí de una manera muy especial, mostrándome pequeños detalles que antes me pasaban desapercibidos; descubro belleza en lugares en los que antes no veía nada. Esto me ayuda a apreciar y a valorar muchísimo el mundo que me rodea, haciéndome feliz con los pequeños detalles cotidianos.”
+ all this talent i must also thank isabel for being so sweet with me, always with patience in answering through all sorts of e-mail accounts… showing so much appreciation in being here, when i am the one sooooo thankful in having her here as a guest.
thank you isabel. thank you from the bottom of my heart.
& after this {sneak-peek} i bet you are willing to explore isabel’s world… and you really should do it… i garantee you moments of pure joy & delight.
and this is it for today my sweet friends!
