for the love of photography - don't you wonder what clouds taste like? как ни странно, у меня до сих пор загорелые ноги. это вообще само по себе уже чудо. а то, что прошел уже почти месяц, а я всё ещё со здоровым цветом лица и веснушками - вообще фантастика. ужасно тяжело втянуться в прежний ритм. все вы прекрасно знаете о чём я. как только открываю папки с этими снимками - ностальгирую жутко. такого раньше не было. или было, но в глубоком детстве. когда скучаешь по любимым местам и даешь себе клятвы, что обязательно вернешься. вернешься ни раз. пост будет про любовь к облакам. про нас и про закаты. самые невероятные. такие, что я начала их снимать. думаю, многие из вас догадались давно, что я отношусь с восторгом (но и не более того) к разного вида пейзажам и видам. я люблю на них смотреть, но обычно никогда не пытаюсь сохранить для себя на жестком диске. но i've changed my mind.

A new documentary, Alive Inside, follows the “awakening” that occurs when people suffering from memory loss and Alzheimer’s are given music they have a strong emotional connection to — often, music they grew up with. In the clip, Henry is barely responsive before one of his caretakers puts headphones on him and starts up one of his favorite tunes.
