Lesia Paramonova - part two.

Lesia Paramonova for Institute

Lesia Paramonova keeps doing everything right. Her aesthetic is just wonderful - to me nothing is dreamier than her botany prints and her leafy nymph ears.

Girl of my dreams.

How delightful are these portraits taken from issue 15 of Lula, they make my heart melt.
The expression, the hair - it is beyond a dream. And although I always get flushes of girlish excitement when a new issue comes out, this time the anticipation kicked in early after hearing that Ellen Rogers had taken some photographs for issue fifteen. Ellen is a wonderful friend who's beautiful work I always thought would lend itself to such a wonderful magazine.
 Below is my favourite, isn't it just lovely?

Tim Walker, Story Teller.

Here are a few pictures from the new Tim Walker exhibition, Story Teller, at Somerset House which opens tomorrow (18th October). The exhibition is the natural successor to Tim's last show at The Design Museum, featuring select photos and props from some of Walker's most infamous shoots.
Its's incredible; if you can, please go and see it for yourself.

Kinfolk, Drying herbs.

I'm completely smitten with this collaboration between
Amy Merrick and Parker Fitzgerald for Kinfolk magazine.

Clotted like first milk, and the fruit like babies."

P.S. Ever wish you could breathe under water?

"I like the sea: we understand one another. 

It is always yearning, sighing for something it cannot have; and so am I."

"Dear Captain Zissou: 

I am 12 years old and live in Charbone, Kentucky. A creek runs behind our house, where I live with my mother. She met you once, some years ago, and I collect and catalogue amphibians, reptiles, and insects. I don't know what this one's called, so I named it myself. You are probably my one of, if not the, favorite person I've ever studied. 

I plan to be either a) an oceanographer, b) an architect, c) a pilot. 

Thank you very much for your good work. 

Sincerely, Ned Plimpton, Blue Star Cadet, Zissou Society. 

P.S. Ever wish you could breathe under water?"
