One day

melriddell — Fri, 15 Mar 2013 05:36:34 +0000

One day, it will happen
One day, one day
It will all come true.

One day, when you’re ready
One day, one day
When you’re up to it.

The atmosphere
Will get lighter
And two suns ready
To shine just for you
I can feel it, I can feel it.

One day, it will happen
One day, one day
It will all make sense.
~ Björk

Breathe in

melriddell — Sun, 28 Oct 2012 10:17:03 +0000

I only have one second, this minute today
I can’t press rewind and turn it back and call it now
and so this moment, I just have to sing out loud
and say I love I like and breathe in now.
~ Holly Lamar, Stephania Bentley

Bittersweet

I yearn for happiness
I ask for help
I want mercy
And my love says:

Look at me and hear me
Because I am here
Just for that
~ Rumi

When words become unclear, I shall focus with photographs. When images become inadequate, I shall be content with silence.

Colour splash

melriddell — Wed, 17 Oct 2012 07:50:21 +0000

I was so very fortunate to not only have a stunning model to photograph for these shots, but an amazing dress too! Melbourne-based Lisa Taranto designers, Lisa and Lea, create wonderfully structured, innovative and inspired designs, and I fell hopelessly in love with this one.

And I love a splash of colour.
