Art, photoart and Photography by me. Imagik = image magic. Magic is the effect that image-play has on me. I hope to share that. Images, eclectic, whatever turns me on at the moment. My creative play. To say it, cross imagination with magic.

Italian Window
Italian Window, Photo by Mary Stebbins Taitt. For Nadine.
I love the function as well as beauty of these windows. In this country, one could almost forget that shutters have a purpose aside from decoration. I want shutters that work or none at all.
All the shutters everywhere I went in Europe all actually work! And not only that, they use them--the shut them when the sun is shining on that side of the building, or when they want extra privacy. The slats keep out the sun but let in the air. USA is annoying in the way they use fake shutters. They ought to shut. Old ones in New England did, to keep out storms, for one thing.

Yay! I want real shutters. How cool would that be?!
That wall color is the color I painted my kitchen and dining room.

The colors. The colors. The colors.

I appreciate your kindness--and I love the colors of the Mediterranean!
Oh... I love this. I adore photos of windows... they remind me that no matter what, there's always a way out. Beautiful.
