Love as though you have never been hurt before,
Sing as though no one can hear you,
Live as though heaven is on earth.”

Classically posed couples

What can I say we are classic ;)

This corner and its setting mad me think of the couples on really old photographs, where people had to hold still for a long time to have their photographs taken. The faces most of the time had no expression, they looked empty, with lifeless white stare. If you collect old photographs or ever seen one, you know what I mean.

Sooooooo I had no choice... and I had to take that shot with a modern twist to it ;) Luckily for me +Hector Hurtado was happy to play along ;)

Few days ago, I was so excited to go out for the first time since I got sick. Of course I took my camera with me, I missed taking pictures so much ♥ And... my hubby was my main victim, even while doing his shoes ;)

Love After Love

The time will come 
when, with elation 
you will greet yourself arriving 
at your own door, in your own mirror 
and each will smile at the other's welcome, 

and say, sit here. Eat. 
You will love again the stranger who was your self.
Give wine. Give bread. Give back your heart 
to itself, to the stranger who has loved you 

all your life, whom you ignored 
for another, who knows you by heart. 
Take down the love letters from the bookshelf, 

the photographs, the desperate notes, 
peel your own image from the mirror. 
Sit. Feast on your life.

I love testimonials :)

Marta Hurtado is very professional. She make people feel comfortable immediately, she made me feel at ease.
And there was a good flow. Even I was a little sick and Marta really took care of me like I was somebody she knew for longer then a day.
