anticipation


christmas is right around the corner.


and my heart is filled with anticipation.










i love this holiday season and it's always exciting to start a brand new year.

now it's time for new year's resolutions, new projects, new life.

it's easier for me to make changes happen when a new year is about to begin.

change the course of life. press reset.



the dull will say what's so special about it anyway- it is just another year. and it doesn't really change anything.

and they're right. it doesn't change anything.

we do.


just like the sun that rises every morning, i guess our minds need this psychological resetting of time every now and then.


weeks, months, seasons, years, decades. what would life be like without them?

a series of countless days

an endless night

an everlasting winter


... some people hate the cold, but everybody smiles to the first snow of the season.

i took this picture during my latest visit to the Reina Sofia Museum here in Madrid. oh, and people are allowed to take pictures there - just in case you were wondering :)
