Me. At the age of 5. Not long when my grandfather died. I look slightly unhappy on this one. Not sure why though. Kids make me smile. I am looking at myself here and can't believe that once I have been this small. Was it me? I always looked quite serious when I was little. I guess I still do even now. It was around 1990-91. Fashion speaks for itself. Makes me smile though. Bring back that time when I was small and all my troubles were small too. When animals were your biggest friends and when I can chaise my cat around the house non stop. It was fun. I don't think we realize that the only full freedom we have is when we small.
Going through my all old pictures I am realizing how much my grandfather used to love my nan. We have millions pictures of her. He used to be her private photographer. She was so photogenic though. You can see camera loved her and she loved camera too. It was mutual love I guess. Although I must say pictures look so great. It is a story behind the picture that makes it even more special. Once you know it, picture becomes almost alive. I wish.
My grandfather and my grandmother used to love going to Black see. I love this picture. My grandmother used to laugh everytime she came across this picture. She was holding a cigaret in this picture although she never smoked in her entire life. I think it looks quite stylish. It suited her. Fun old times.

In my world


Last night I have been going through my old pictures and I found these....Old times and people who will never be forgotten. I love old, black and white pictures. I believe black and white are the only colors of the past. Back then we had bad days and good days. Black and white. Amazing. I want to share a bit of my past with you. Memories are important and they are the only things we have left from the past. Here we go some of my past. My childhood. Something that I miss dearly, some people who are not in my life anymore, but they are in my heart forever.

Top left you can see the two picture of my grandmother. The first picture is of her, me and my cousin. Second one is of her when she was pregnant with my mum . She past away 2 years ago and still feels like it happened yesterday. She had a great life though and in my eyes she was the best grandmother you can wish for. She was very beautiful, strong minded and open minded person. She knew a lot about everything and she never stopped wanting to know more. I guess without her in my life I would not be who I am today. She taught me how to live and how to see things. She taught me how to respect people around you and never be afraid of any kind of work. She had passion for knowledge and she had a strong desire for life. Everytime I look up in the sky, I know she looks down at me and says: "I am always going to be right behind you". It is funny I say so, because when she was alive I asked her once what happened when she dies. She answered " When I die, I will demand from God to give me the right to be your guide and angel so I will never leave your side". I guess knowing my grandmother I can actually imagine this. Sounds hilarious. I loved, love and always will....
