Susan Sontag in a bear suit

Love this photo of Susan Sontag. Even more because I read this article the other day, where she says:

“Things I dislike: sleeping in an apartment alone, cold weather, couples, football games, swimming, anchovies, mustaches, cats, umbrellas, being photographed, the taste of licorice, washing my hair (or having it washed), wearing a wristwatch, giving a lecture, cigars, writing letters, taking showers, Robert Frost, German food.”

By Annie Leibovitz.

Women of the world

I love to be a woman. And I love my iPhone. I want to share a (free) app from Fotopedia Magazine, with a photo-series by Olivier Martel, titled “Women of the world”. He has taken some amazing photos of women in different cultures. He explains his approach to photography below:

I am attached to topics such as the Berbers, the Fetishists of the Ivory Coast, the Order of Malta throughout the world, Malaria across the continents, Orthodoxy in Russia, the Cistercian Order in Europe and the nurses of the impossible… I have been able to photograph women far from the Fashion pages. These are the faces of the eternal feminine truth, in their struggles and hopes and their assertion.

— Olivier Martel

Below are some of my favourite ones. Check it out here.

Favourite place

I love walking along Regents Canal in London, it is a nice way to get some fresh air and being close to water always calms me.
