The photograph you ask about is rather well known, taken by the master himself, Irving Penn. So famed is the image, it was auctioned at Christie’s in 2005, bringing in over $300,000. It is entitled ‘Woman in Moroccan palace’. What’s particularly special about it is the model, one of the first “super models” of her day, Lisa Fonssagrives, who was also, interestingly, Mrs. Irving Penn. Date: 1951.

I stumbled across your blog and love the images you use. Could you tell me specifically where the image of the lady kneeling down in the moorish-style setting is from?
Many thanks!
Yaelle

I’m new to your blog and utterly entranced. :)

I found you via Silent Storyteller, who I found after reading a comment posted on Danielle LaPorte’s White Hot Truth site.

(I love this ever-growing web of connections)

This was a beautiful post. Thank you for sharing!!
Namasté
Mitzi

Funny how words can lull and lift. Believe me, the pleasure is all ours – blushes a little, winks loudly and exits left

What could be better for Christmas than a comment such as yours? It is one of those magnificently penned notes that will find its way into my journal to lighten my spirits on the darkest of days. Your surprise at my gender and attractions is not the first to be voiced, but as I revealed early on in the post, I do seem to defy characterization, even to myself. Which enhances, I think, exchanges like yours, all the more. I shall carry the image of you with your spoon, at the ready, throughout the coming year. My most heartfelt thanks.

I had no idea you weren’t male, or even gay (like myself); what I do know is that I think you’re a rare treat, a site for sore eyes, a curiosity, an exquisitely considered read, an old friend and that if you ever decide to share further in your beautiful bowl of pasta topped with glamour for sauce, I shall come running with my spoon…

Where you wrote about being a private person . . feeling that you belonged to another place or time. Loved that particular line …as a matter of fact, loved all the lines from all 10 entries! A spellbinding job.
