i did this shot as a kind of toast to myself, on my birthday: yellow napkin in kitsch crystal- that suits me at 43.
i did the shot in the kitchen, in natural light. the shot was inspired by the light.
at a certain time of the day, through a skylight, a brilliant beam shows herself, if only for a moment.
it was a nice moment for me and my camera. sometimes i use photography to order and extend my consciousness,
that is what was happening during the making of this image- the light and various elements in the composition,
and the color, and reflections and distortions... that’s how i discovered how i would feel on my birthday.
there was a song playing, with special memories for me, in the background. it's called duca. i discovered the song in
music store, listening on headphones. then the song became special for other reasons, and now, even though
the rhythm is upbeat, and the melody is j-pop cutsey, it is extremely sad...
bright, shadowy, empty cup, fill it with a new set of experiences. i drink a toast to myself, to life, to love.

Thanks for the insight into that mysterious brain of yours. Always love your artfully elusive postcards, which always remind me of the beauty of fleeting thoughts and images.. ineffable.
You inspire me, my friend!
Happiest of birthdays to you :) I hope that this year brings you love, creativity, and serenity.
The image is wonderful...simplistic and clear.
