This photographer tagged me on my modeling site, so I went to look at his work, and I was pleasantly surprised. His pictures were different, they had “old style” look, like you are getting a glimpse into the past. And I thought to myself that I don’t mind having a shoot with him, especially since his studio was in DC. It will be something totally different. So I sent him email, commenting on his pictures, we started talking, and he invited me to shoot at the location at the beach house, 3 hours away. At first I started talking myself out of it, and I started to compose “thanks, but no thanks” polite email, but then decided to “sleep on it” and in the morning, I could not find anything against it, and giving it final thought, and discussing it with Vik I decided that I can use some time away. The thought of seeing an ocean, when it is so bitter cold outside was warming my heart from the inside, and I was beginning to look forward to the weekend on the beach. We exchanged few lengt...

It is such a pleasure to cook, or prepare meals (in my case) for someone who will appreciate it. Yesterday I created a Taco Salad, put all ingredients on the counter, took pictures, and was taking pictures to show all the step by step instructions. I was really enjoying the process, it was creative and relaxing.

When I make food I put a lot of my energy and thought into it. At first I have to plan, then at the store I have to pick out all the right ingredients and make sure that they are all organic, then I have to create the dish that I planned on doing, and see how I can improve it.

Right after I was smothered with kisses, mom asked me "what would you like me to make you for dinner" OMG I don't remember when was the last time I heard those words. It made me feel soft and fuzzy inside. Even though it was just my parents, Athena - my dog and me, it felt very hectic, so I decided to take Athena for a walk to unwind and clear my head. Let me tell you, it worked like a charm. By the time I got back, my bag with provisions was empties and all the stuff put away, and the dinner was being made. I agreed on having and egg salad with radishes with my dad, mom already eat before I got there. Dinner was nice and quiet, all the hell broke loose right after. I like electronics, my dad LOVES electronics, every chance I get I buy him stuff for holidays and birthdays. Considering his birthday was only last week I got him a watch for his phone. So for two hours my dad was walking behind m...
