Photographer's Note
J'en oublies que je me suis juré
De ne plus tomber amoureux
Mon âme a beau me le répéter
Mon sang n'y voit que du feu
Mon coeur bondit sur sa racine
Avec une joyeuse innocence
S'arrachant, quelle délivrance
A son implacable routine
Immolées dans ton sourire
Mes résolutions se meurent
Je me laisse aller sans peur
Mais ne trouve plus rien à dire
Je garde le silence
Devant tant de douceur
Bêtement muet de stupeur
Déconcerté par l'évidence
Trop heureux de pouvoir contempler
Dissimulé dans l'ombre du couloir
Ton reflet pur surpris dans le miroir
Je ne fais pas un bruit et n'ose plus bouger
Dans l'obscurité je reste invisible
De ma présence aucun signe tangible
Pour que rien ne vienne troubler
Ce petit moment de bonheur volé
Je me retiens presque de respirer
Je dois vraiment être cinglé
Me voilà amoureux fou à lier
Et ça, je ne peux pas le cacher
Je garde le silence
Devant tant de douceur
Bêtement muet de stupeur
Déconcerté par l'évidence
Je me sens franchement risible
Zinzin marteau gaga toqué
Dingue, barjo, fada, timbré
Mais qu'importe si j'ai l'air d'un imbécile
Ce serait de rester insensible
Devant tant de radieuse beauté
Qui serait parfaitement insensé
Et même si ce n'est pas possible
J'imagine que d'un mouvement indocile
Ma mâchoire pourrait bien se décrocher
Et venir rouler jusqu'à tes pieds
Pour un seul battement de tes cils
Je garde le silence
Devant tant de douceur
Bêtement muet de stupeur
Déconcerté par l'évidence
Une image prise dans les coulisses du show "Bollywwod Love story", à l'heure où les danseurs et danseuses se préparent pour leur entrée en scène.
Mon titre est "Douceur" mais j'avoue que j'étais aussi assez tentée par: "Zinzin marteau gaga toqué"; ce qui est beaucoup moins poétique, je vous l'accorde; mais qui, répété plusieurs fois de suite à vive allure, et à voix haute, a le mérite de bien me faire rigoler.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ O ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I forget that I promised myself
Not to fall in love again
What my soul repeats does not matter
My blood fall for it
My heart leaps up from its root
With a joyful innocence
Tearing itself away from
Its unrelenting routine
Immolated in your smile
My resolutions die
I let myself go without fear
But don't find anything to say
I remain silent
In front of so much sweetness
Stupidly speechless with stupor
Abashed by the evidence
Too happy to be able to gaze
Hidden in the dark of the corridor
Your image through a pure mirror
I make neither a noise nor a move
In darkness I remain invisible
Of my presence nothing's tangible
For nothing comes to disturb
This moment of stolen happiness
I hold back my breathe
I must be crazy
Madly in love, raving mad
And this, I cannot hide
I remain silent
In front of so much sweetness
Stupidly speechless with stupor
Abashed by the evidence
I feel frankly laughable
Completely nuts, silly, cracked, wacko
Hideous kinky, dizzy, loony, nutter
But no matter if I look like a fool
It would be to remain unemotional
In front of a so radiant beauty
That would be perfectly insane
And even if it's not possible
I imagine that by an uncontrollable move
Only for a bat of your eyelashes
My jaw just breaks away
And come rolling up to your feet
I remain silent
In front of so much sweetness
Stupidly speechless with stupor
Abashed by the evidence
I tried to translate my song/poem or whatever you think it is. It's probably awkward and heavy, compared to the french version... sorry.
My title is "douceur" (sweetness) but I have to confess that I was tempted to name it : "zinzin marteau gaga toqué", which, said quickly, has a funny sound in itself, enough to summarize the meaning " nuts, silly, cracked, wacko, ..."

Hello Marine,
Just a lovely portrait of the young woman. The expression on her lovely face, the colors and resolution — it's all very good. I think I might have been tempted to darken the arms and outfit of the woman fixing her hair. But it is an excellent photo in any case.
Warm regards,
Bulent

Une bien jolie demoiselle dans son beau sari, une photo d'interieur ou la large ouverture a permis de se passer de flash, ce qui est bien
Bonne journee JY

Hi Marine,
Even if its translated from French to English I enjoyed. I admire your bilingual use in notes for non french users. About the image very natural tones and expressions. Nice smile on the lady's face. I think you have been avoiding vast post processing for a quite long time. I am also inspired these days and try to get the most out of the equipment.
Regards and Have a nice day

A beautiful face, what a graceful poise of the artist and you were right below. the warm light wrapped around her smile..so bollywoodish...she is like half the film. talk about the photog being a part of the scene that it reflects his/her presence on the frame..
i know you and i know you have interacted with her prior to making this shot..what we get as an expression is actually an energy directed through you. i believe in that alot since i am alos into documenting human condition and emotions..
funny how you will be anxious to catch up with the next bollywood blocknuster and me trying to avoid it, funny i just feel it is too unreal in terms of the melodrama and the unending songs..but yes some movies are trying to be hollywoodish..90 minutes of a story, with a signature "you decide what happens next" kind of an ending..
stay well sweetheart..
