Tones


Julia Margaret Cameron

Whether the tones of the past form this never ending predilection of mine, I remain transfixed by many of Cameron's Nymphets and magical lighting.

Though the image is admitedly on the small side, this adds to it's charm. The majority of images that surround, and bombard us on a daily basis seem so large, whereas the petite size adds a delicate quality, it calls the viewer to pay closer attention, scrutinize it all the more. The details and the light caught on the jewellery add further beauty, magic and mystery.

  1. You point a very interesting point talking about the size of the images.
