Lovely and Unrelated

{Tuesday already... raining and dark as I write this post at 6:17 a.m. while eating my breakfast... finding less and less time to blog, which is really unfortunate as I have been receiving the most lovely comments from new (and lovely long-time) readers... feel I want to reach out even more, yet the challenge of finding enough time weighs heavily in my heart... have a lovely and fulfilling Tuesday. Linda, xo}

{p.s. still trying to figure out where exactly to place the "facebook like" button... thought to place it within the edit box of the post itself like the "tweet" button, but when I do this, the counter is astronomically high and obviously does not reflect the actual amount of people who have "liked" the post... any assistance would be greatly appreciated, lovely readers!}

Inspiration: {Kate Moss}

{Kate Moss in a one-of-a-kind KM3D-1 mini-feature for AnOther Magazine. "With a performance that recalls the fantastical cinema of Ray Harryhausen, James Bidgood and Kenneth Anger, KM3D-1 places at its centre one of the most iconic female figures of the modern age. Suspended in time and space, Kate is caught inexorably in the parallax gap; a butterfly in a spider's web. Captured at 1,000 frames per second – a speed so slow that movement is almost imperceptible – the beauty of Kate's face appears frozen, transforming her into an impenetrable deity. She is a figure of contemporary fantasy, shattering her own self-image. Made with state-of-the-art Phantom cameras, specially built for the project to create extreme slow motion and a dramatic 3D effect, KM3D-1 reflects AnOther Magazine's raison d'etre: to champion creatives pushing the limits of what seems possible." ~ Text by Nancy Waters via AnOther Magazine.}
