How smartphone photography changes perception

Since 2007 photography has become a very popular thing. Because nowadays, everyone has a camera in their pocket. It's called a phone, but I believe, people spend more time taking photos than doing phone calls. This phenomenon has widely changed our perception and the way we remember things.

For some it's a melody, for some it's a scent. For me, the right visuals get me into a feel-good mood. A mix of childhood feelings, warmth and security, combined with the exotic charme of unknown places.

My diamond painting

My life six months later

2020 has been very different than I had planned. The past months have developed in ways that I would never have imagined. No traveling, no photo shoots, not being able to plan anything ahead.

Dermatologists say it's more hygienic to refrain from shaving. Pubic hair protects sensitive skin and traps bacteria before they enter the vagina. But this is not a medical blog, so the question is if pubic hair is good for photographs. Let's discuss.

They need to sew a big logo inside the tiny piece of lingerie and add long washing instructions, too. But finally, I found someone who does it my way.
