Once upon a time, in a small coffee-house, an odd group of people gathered. A few journalists, two rebels with a cause, one writer and one lost soul. He was the writer and I was the lost soul.Everybody were noisy, talking, only two of us were quiet. But our eyes were sending secret messages. Mine were screaming “Save me! Love me!”, and his were answering ” I wish I could…I wish that so much, but I can’t.”. The dawn departed us all. The magic had gone. I never saw him again.

Maybe we were the right persons, but the time was wrong…or maybe the time was right and we were wrong. Maybe is a beautiful, mysterious word.

Happy Saint Valentine’s Day to you!

Special thanks goes to Ljiljana Bursac, Nini Baseema, Kiyo Murakami, Murielle Mirabelle Velay Michel, Jelena Grujic, Ian Furnis, Bolek Budzyn, Thierry Bruet, Gines Serran, Mark Sadan and to all of you.

Carsten Witte – The venerable priest of beauty

maiasylba — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 17:59:41 +0000

“Carsten Witte, born in 1964, is the venerable priest of beauty. Already as a little boy of three he slack-jadedly gazed after beauties that where passing by when he was walking at his mother’s hand. Many years later, after he had attended the Bielefeld school of photography, worked as assistant for renowned photographers and started his career as a freelancer with his own studio in 1989, he could finally dedicate himself exclusively to his perfect esthetics at taking shots of beautiful woman’s bodies, their eroticism and chasteness and the sensual play of shadow and light, whereas he has never betrayed the deference to the beautiful creature…”

Leslie Ann O’Dell – Light and dark

maiasylba — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 22:31:30 +0000

“I am at heart, an intuitive visual artist. I observe and create mostly with my camera. My work is emotional, tense, and a bit enigmatic for me. Centered around people, our human nature, and my own identity.. and with a little bit of creatures mixed in.. I try to incorporate both the dark and the light in my work, because one cannot exist without the other.. I want the ethereal and the flawed.”
