Not a huge Teller fan, but I absolutely love the top photo: haunting eyes in the young man, an embrace that betrays a beautiful, emotional bond.

And, I like big dogs. Size gives them gravity, substantiality, makes them more noble, more like wolves.

I am looking for serenity in life, for peace of mind.

but it is so easy to be distracted,

tortured by beauty, or by wretchedness.

For someone who is not particularly fond of patterns, I find these shots (taken through kaleidoscope) very intriguing. The first one catches the eye, but I think the last is my favorite.
