Wine is bottled poetry.

~ Robert Louis Stevenson

Do you like wine? I don’t. LOL Never mind. I had a fantastic Sunday in my cousin’s winery. Some friends and the family gathered together early in the morning and decided to visit one of the biggest winery of the country. At first I didn’t want to go, I don’t drink wine at all. However it was a great opportunity to play with my cam. The rest of the people ate and drank so much, tasted all kind of wine. 

  I disappeared among the bottles, nobody missed me. 

  These are my favourite shots. The rest was not very nice. From photographic point of view they really are good, but the theme is horrible. The whole cellarage (hmm I’m not sure if this is the correct word in English – this is the place where the tons of barrels are held under the ground) was full of mould. It didn’t look very nice to be uploaded here. I like how these bottles shape these parallel patterns.

Have a nice week!

This is my second day in the camp! Extremely busy, my brain has been working so hard. I was so excited when I got up, filled with some new ideas. Today’s word is ‘picnic’. When I quickly looked around in the house to see what raw materials I have at home, I had to realize that I have only a nice soft blanket, some glasses, a few bottles of wine but no fruits at all. I was so sad because it is already summer, pretty good time for having a picnic. And I couldn’t really imagine my photo without fruits. {Sigh} I have been thinking all day how to solve this project. Then I went for another tour in the house to look for something I could replace the apples with. In the twinkling of an eye I caught sight of my favourite pearl necklace. What about representing a luxury picnic party? This is what I ended up with. 

  I’m curious what comes to your mind when you hear the word ‘picnic’. I think now I can happily go to sleep, I’m ready to go on to the third task. 

  We still have 12 days! Yayy!

As for today’s thoughts I should start considering myself an artist. Huhh??? Me as an artist?? Weirdo. LOL Well Maegan might be right. I never dared calling myself a photographer, not mentioning an ‘artist’. From now on I’ll be thinking on this. She asks what ‘artist’ means to me. A painter, a crafter, or something like this, who has tons of years of experience, who creates beauty, a real masterpiece. However beauty is very subjective. And here come her thoughts that all of us should consider:

“You are here. You have a yearning to create. You wish to produce work which reflects life the way you see it. You are indeed an artist. It has nothing to do with what medium you work in. It has nothing to do with whether or not you have achieved someone’s vision of success. It has to do with what is in your soul.”

“The more comfortable and confident you can be about your role in this world as an artist, the more confident you can become in your work. And the more confidence you have in your work, the better your work will be.”

This is absolutely TRUE. Then why the hell have I not thought about it like this? 

          I am an artist!                I AM AN ARTIST!                 A-R-T-I-S-T ! !               Got it? 

  Pretty good to say it out loud!

What makes me feel the opposite? I don’t know. Maybe cos I’m never satisfied with the photos I take… BUT: I’m already trying to change this perception. It was good to hear though I’m not the only one suffering from this disease. LOL I know I have been growing a bit day by day. And it makes me SOO happy!

How about you? Do you already consider yourself an artist?
