I can't self-analyze but during those extremely cold last days, I keep working on my long-standing studio photographic project "Smoke and Hard Light".

I guess in these periods of time I like challenging my imagination and subconsciousness.

Sometimes, with the time passing by, I see different pictures, stories and shapes in my photos.

There's definitely a divine hand in this type of photography, check out the cool scary ichthus blowing fire balls in the first picture ;)

Or those two aliens having sex in the third one, but that's probably only my imagination, right? ;)

This year, the leap one 2024, the Pantone Institute chose for the Color of the Year 2024 the "Peach Fuzz" or PANTONE 13-1023.

So going from crazy in 2023, to warm in 2024, if I have to sum it all up in a satirical with a few words. Lovely!
