oh i am so happy to have found this thread.!

thank you
bling for starting it and
strawb for all the great contributions
i discovered annabel's work recently and am in love...
i love the imagery it conjures up....for me she seems to really explore that process of blossoming from a young teenage girl to a young woman, discovering the power of sensuality and sexuality, and as you've all mentioned femininity...she captures this amazing moment of innocence mixed with power and sensuality...that's what really speaks to me.
her work is so calm and peaceful...there is something very 'silent' about her photographs..

. does that make sense? looking at them i feel like i need to whisper because i am looking straight into a personal moment in someone's life.! again, amazing...
i also love the small town, country, summertime feel....the water, gardens, flowers, open fields.....it makes me think of those sweltering hot, sticky summer nights when you're outdoors in the lightest summer dress you can find...thinking about love and life and looking up at the stars...
ahhhhhhh...i just cant get enough...
