Ladene Clark

"Even if I
shoved open my jammed window
and with hands moist from morning dew
take back my hair
and call out to you with a brash familiarity,
welcome you with a smile when you look back befuddled
you would still think it was a dream
and keep to the sidewalks" ©fashionandfables


Yes, let's all take a moment or three to stare at Ms Clark.
Okay, i am done staring now.
The beautiful designer/model is stunning. It's like she stepped out of another world, one where everyone walks around barefeet and like go skinny dipping even in the winter, okay, maybe not in the winter, cuz in that world it's probably always balmy and nice.
Ladene is not only gorgeous but very talented, specialising in knitwear the designer often models her own designs as seen in most of the pictures above.

"Lover
barefeet
on balmy nights
i sit out on steps
and look up for you in the faces of passers-byers
hiding underneath dim lamp posts
tallying up
glances i have seen.

Lover of mine
my secret is that
i see you everywhere
even in these freshly painted toenails

Photography is the one of the few medium wherein i can tolerate portraits. There is something about it that makes the emotions more tangible. Which is why i love Photographer Kwesi Abbensetts images. Portraits aren't his only forte, there are some pretty awesome documentary shots on homelessness in New York.
Wonder if i can meet him some how when in the Big Apple?
