Flowers in Cyanotype Blues | Sweden

As fall and winter are coming closer and yesterday was a prime example, I popped into the Swedish Museum of Photography, also known as Fotografiska. These 5 photo manipulations were inspired from this visit and a very special love in my heart for the color blue, from cyan to cobalt to everything in between. All of these images were captured at some point while I was "roaming the earth." And besides, it's easier to be a Swede when your own soul is blue too...

Love, Sharon

Mosaic of Dusk

Dusk is very simply like handmade taffy: each batch is a different flavor with unique pastel swirls and reversed texture. Dusk purrs quietly in the slumbering sky as we play hide-n-seek or a game of tag among the mosquitoes and lightening bugs, and allowing it to brighten our summer tans for one last second.And it has roots running below my little neighborhood, like a dark twin to the underground with our parents holding the string end so we (our gang) would not disappear into oblivion. Where like an underground tram after one stop, I have to go above ground to feel the sky again, and for this reason, this is where my introspective journey always begins: at my favorite time of day. I say that sincerely. ~Sharon Marzonie
