I saw this picture in the book and thought, that is really not highlight.
But than looking around, understanding, seeing, discover,... what a great image!!!
I like the hearts on the rack a transfer from "ignorance" to love.
Wonderful!!!

Ilja Hackman Thank you! Really glad you got it!

Not surprising you have so many positive comments on this picture. It really captures a feeling we are so familiar with - it's normal yet romantic at the same time. Looking forward to more of your work. Great capture. Lovely colours too.

Ilja Hackman Really glad you like, Brita! :)

congrats of sc- I just love this one. Do you have plans to do more. I really think it would make a wonderful, deep and modern series. I can think of many options off the top of my head so I'm sure it would take a while to exhast. :)

Ilja Hackman Oh, Thanks so much Angela!! :) What a surpise!! I´m thrilled..

Well.. There might be some additions sometime.. I haven´t had too much time to do "staged" photos lately; our first is baby is "due" any day now so.. maybe some day..

Angela Bacon-Kidwell How exciting! I wish you all the best with the baby and your wife a easy and beautiful delivery. Think of what you could do with a little one in that series. Get lots of sleep now because well you know. Mine is almost 3 and I was up half the night last night with him because he was having bad dreams of ELEPHANTS! I have no idea where that came from. Anyway, best to you and yours.

Ilja Hackman Thank you for the kind words, Angela!

Emily Bem 4 years ago

GENIOUS...

I don't even know where to begin! I'm stumbling over my fingers trying to find the right words.....

Will "I LOVE it " work ????

;)

Ilja Hackman It works just fine! Thanks Em! :) Always nice to get feedback from you!

Emily Bem SHEESH.....I'm not sure were the "O" came from in GENIUS...ha ha! Wow...I need more sleep.

Ilja Hackman LoL! I´ve been wondering.. You are supposed to be on quite a different time zone yet your up when I am.. You really don´t get much sleep, do you?
=)

Emily Bem Nope....not with a 5yr, 3yr and 1yr old who have the audacity to get colds....ha ha! It's a rare thing to sleep through the night in this house. It's a good life though.....even without the sleep. :)

Ilja Hackman :)
