2011 {wishes}… by carmen hache

oh i love my latin friends. that being said, let us go straight to this strong woman wishes. well, actually just one thing. i have been on flickr for more than a year, have been meeting such lovely friends… talented photographers… and yet, people keep surprising me and making my day with the most simple of gestures. carmen has this effect on me. she is powerful, intense, creative, feminine, sensitive, a friend, kind heart… a huge heart. me encanta que seré capaz de verla en un mes. me encanta que ella haya escrito una historia para los deseos para 2011.

“la fotografía me permite robarle al mundo pedacitos con los que recompongo mi mundo interior, me permite crear e inventar, mostrarme, aprender y enseñar… me lo da todo. soy autodidacta, inquieta, curiosa. no paro hasta dar con lo que busco. colecciono sonrisas y desde hace poco, abrazos. disfruto de la soledad porque la tengo controlada.”

carmen’s wishes fro 2011 are…

“dear new year… i have to write you a letter with my wishes. please let me sit down close to you so that we can talk about. i wish you to let me feel like a child. i think it was easier when we were younger and we spent our time without thinking… we only {lived our lives}… i wish to walk barefoot and jumping into the puddles. i want to have more time for me. i have a lot of books to read, films to watch, projects to do and i need more time. i wish to have time to spent with my friends. they are my life. you know… i wish to hug everyone i love. i wish to travel again. perhaps i’ll start with lisbon… i don’t know. but i want to travel more. and i wish to go to africa because i have a lot of smiles to pick there… please new year… i hope you don’t forget me. i have a lot of things to do and a lot of things to live.”

what more can i say after this beautiful letter? please new year, can you bring some of my friends to lisbon, so that i can meet them, hug them and smile with them? thank you.
