the most beautiful present I got!

If you want a lover
I'll do anything you ask me to
And if you want another kind of love
I'll wear a mask for you
If you want a partner
Take my hand
Or if you want to strike me down in anger
Here I stand

I'm your man

If you want a boxer
I will step into the ring for you
And if you want a doctor
I'll examine every inch of you
If you want a driver
Climb inside
Or if you want to take me for a ride
You know you can

I'm your man

Ah, the moon's too bright
The chain's too tight
The beast won't go to sleep
I've been running through these promises to you
That I made and I could not keep
Ah but a man never got a woman back
Not by begging on his knees
Or I'd crawl to you baby
And I'd fall at your feet
And I'd howl at your beauty
Like a dog in heat
And I'd claw at your heart
And I'd tear at your sheet
I'd say please, please

I'm your man

And if you've got to sleep
A moment on the road
I will steer for you
And if you want to work the street alone
I'll disappear for you
If you want a father for your child
Or only want to walk with me a while
Across the sand

I'm your man

morning's mood

The light at 6 am.
It's fantastic to wake up very early just to see this.

Time

For me, one of the most appealing qualities of photography is the sense of time that it transmits.
It is amazing for me to start from reality and create an imaginary time, one that allows us to contemplate instead of understand.
I believe that I am fascinated for a long time by the slowness of time, by days that go by slowly, when we have time to wait, when there is no rush. It is the opposite of the fast unforgiving time we are living , a time of unhappiness.
That was the 19th-century literary time; we just have to read a novel by Jane Austen to understand the exact notion of this slow-moving time.

I am quite aware this is a “romantic” time, a time that doesn’t exist, or, if it existed, it would not be preserved, however, “photograph surpasses life itself” and that romantic time remains in our memory and it will be there forever.

The idea is to build a fantasy, perfect, quiet place.

Hellen van Meene

I LOVE her work.
