Talking in Photos



And thus making this...




Confession: Part of being bored is creative exaggeration. I just wanted to use food art photos.

A tale of a Carpet.

Under the banner of "Get organized, you will be leaving Baku in four months" I bought a carpet. Not just a carpet, but my first carpet ever. Considering that we have been living in Azerbaijan, where carpet business is huge - I am a late bloomer. I usually look at carpets, listen to the sellers' stories and then go home empty handed. This time a fish design of a carpet caught my eye and in my mind fish = happiness = freedom = good luck.
"Well", I said, "I'll take it home, to try it out" (Here you can do such thing - take an object (a carpet, painting) home to live with it for awhile, to see it in a different light.)

I put it on the floor and realized that it had to stay. And that is how the "Fish" carpet found its home.
