Diana (11/100)

She is simple, but gorgeous. Even with spaghetti straps, she exudes FIERCE attitude.
Look at her colors. So bold.
Look at her vintage style. Ever so classic and sexy.
One word: WOW.

I must confess. I've met her before, but her portrait is one that I cannot miss. In fact, I fell in love at that first meeting with her. Hence the huge sentiment I have for her.

It was the same feeling this time, except amplified. The setting for this chance encounter could not have been anymore ideal. The stars and planets have seemed to aligned this time. It could not have been in anymore a Romantic (literally) and magical place. It was at the perfect time, the "golden hour" as we photographers call it. NOt just that. We so happened to cross paths in the light, away from the looming shadows of the buildings that surround us. Just look how the light presents itself. It was here, in the Eternal City, Rome, that we once again meet face to face.

Instantly, I recognize her. I fall in love again.

How could I not? She help me to see the world through her eyes. She's helped me see the BEAUTIFUL in the MUNDANE. She's showed me that everyday life becomes ART.

SHE STARTED MY OBSESSION WITH STREET PHOTOGRAPHY.

Meet Diana. She's a plastic film camera.
