villa necchi/milan

Starting to go through all the random images from my trips and this one I know I didn't share yet. One of the bathrooms at Villa Necchi. I love those round windows!

I find myself thinking about this couch in the sunroom at Villa Necchi a lot lately. I've had the flu - it is going on 5 days now - and to be perfectly honest, I am absolutely awful at being sick. Just the worst! I am never completely convinced I am actually sick enough to not work. So I keep trying to...
I imagine that if I was here, on this couch, I would be inclined to just stop. It seems like the perfect place to do that and maybe listen to the wind rustle in the trees. And rest.

Aren't you in love with this girl? I am. I have been admiring her since I shot this at Villa Necchi in Milan. There is something that is simultaneously self conscious and unconscious in her pose. And the way her mouth is a little bit open...is taking in a huge gulp of life, or calling out someone's name? I just love her. The ideas she conjures in my head are usually diametrically opposed to each other. She makes me think. And wonder.

A couple more from Villa Necchi today. I honestly think this is the sexiest couch I have even seen. Especially the way the light is falling on it in this shot. I cannot stop thinking about it. I am going back tomorrow to shoot it with a proper camera. Tomorrow is my day off and I am going to go back and laze by the pool and stare at that couch again. I am a simple girl.
Saturday it is off to Torino! And the hard core shooting begins! Yes!!!

My absolute favorite image from the Villa Necchi plus one more that seemed like its mate somehow. I still haven't gone through them all. More to come tomorrow!! xx
