When I was a little girl, I had a wish to own a very secret button. One that I could press to capture moments of blessed luck, great fortune and auspiciousness. To catch every fulfilling Moment that I could then place into a little box which I could re open and visit at anytime.

I must have been about 3 years old when a friend of my family took this picture. Even today I can feel the rough wood of the shed on my back, I still can see the sun, which made me blink, I still feel the warmth of my red woolen dress. The titillation of the fly on my knee. In this moment I was completely myself. Only today can I realize that the person behind the camera must have felt this moment in the same way.

Today, I fill this magical box with an accumulation of happy moments. Each and every picture is me. With my eyes I can touch this world strongly and fairly gentle for a second. And time will stand still. The magic of the moment will be preserved.

I am infinite grateful (beyond words) to have found this button.
