ROLL THE DICE

by Bukowski


if you are going to try, go all the
way.
otherwise, don't even start.

if you're going to try, go all the
way. this could mean losing girlfriends,
wives, relatives, jobs and
maybe your mind.

go all the way.
it could mean not eating for 3 or
4 days.
it could mean freezing on a
park bench.
it could mean jail,
it could mean derision,
mockery,
isolation.
isolation is the gift,
all the others are a test of your
endurance, of
how much you really want to
do it.
and you'll do it
despite rejection and the
worst odds
and it will be better than
anything else
you can imagine.

if you're going to try,
go all the way.
there is no other feeling like
that.
you will be alone with the
gods
and the nights will flame with
fire.

do it, do it, do it.
do it.

all the way
all the way.
you will ride life straight to
perfect laughter,
it's the only good fight
there is.

A Dream Deffered

ah....lately more in the poetry than in a photography





What happens to a dream deferred?Does it dry up
like a raisin in the sun?
Or fester like a sore--
And then run?
Does it stink like rotten meat?
Or crust and sugar over--
like a syrupy sweet?Maybe it just sags
like a heavy load.Or does it explode?

by Langston Hughes

let it go - the

i found this little poem ...

let it go – the
e.e. cummings

let it go – the
smashed word broken
open vow or
the oath cracked length
wise – let it go it
was sworn to
go

let them go – the
truthful liars and
the false fair friends
and the boths and
neithers – you must let them go they
were born
to go

let all go – the
big small middling
tall bigger really
the biggest and all
things – let all go
dear

so comes love

God save the Queen

Here are some new photos. I've tried to do something new, something that adds movement to the photography and at the sometime tells a story.

I've played with sequences of photos which I took in Italy, hid them shyly on my computer, thinking of how to use these treasures. In the end, as usually, everything becomes useful, after a while.

In To The Pale

The Who's Jack staff asked me to do a fashion project with their stylist Aartthie. 

So I met with Aartthie and she explained what she would like me to do. The idea was to do something in very warm pastel colors.

There was a problem finding a proper location and in the end we decided to do it in studio.

I have to say I am very happy with how the work turned out, it is warm, fresh and young.

Thanks to the team work of:

stylist                      Aartthie Mahakuperan

make up & hair      Hannah Phillips

model                     Isabel at first models 

it wouldn't be so perfect ....

The Other Art Fair

My suggestion for next year is "if somebody sends you to hell .... go there" that is what I did when I received an e-mail telling me: " Voyko we are not putting your details on our application for the Arts Council because we feel your work is not appropriate for them, we think you are too mental.

That is what they said after I did some free work for their theatre group ... thanks very much!! My answer was "maybe you should spend more time on stage before you judge someone's art".

Yes, and I went to check who is this Arts Council ... the morality. I found on their web site an invitation to participate in an art fair ... and I applied. :)))) They accepted me ... out of 500 applications they chose me and 99 other artists to participate in this beginners art fair.

If you are interested in visiting this fair, you should be there between 10th and 13th May and buy some fresh art ... possibly mine.
