Just a girl in a cafe engrossed in a good book. Who she is and what she is reading we can only surmise and let ourselves dream of all the wonderful riches stored in books.
My philosophy on photography include this great quote
“To define is to destroy, to suggest is create”.
Stephane Mallarme
For me photography has always been about the essence and the suggested.
It’s one of the ten useful photography quotes on the Tips and Tricks page
of my website http://www.andybeelfrps.co.uk/Tips%20and%20Tricks
I only mention the Tips and Tricks page of my website as a lot of new followers of my blog may not be aware of it.

Love your lith prints Andy!
Concerning your Mallarme quote, I am a great fan of Deborah Turbeville’s work, and in her latest book, ‘The Fashion Pictures’ she says ‘…Never try to describe or define your work!’
In case you have not seen the book, you might enjoy it:

Intriguing image Andy. I agree with the quote. I often think that to strive for “perfection” in photography is to miss the point, and a lot of shots! 🙂
