Growing old, but still eager to get up, doll up and play when I am on :
Author: Li
I’m Li; an outsider and a loser, a wayfarer lost into the blizzard, but still up and walking, seeking the right path to the right place. My past is my compass; my dead ones, my guides.
No lights ahead except those that just faded out.

As for some, more objective facts, I am Catalan, living in Catalunya (in the portion colonized and ruled by Spain). I graduated in sciences: Geology and Physics; but I’ve almost always made my living in the trade of fine arts and antiques, stamps, old books. I am a book and stamp collector myself, and a deep lover of classical music -and so, a collector of recordings as well.

People Matching Artworks: An Unusual Photo Series By Stefan Draschan
The very best post I have seen in months. Absolutely brilliant, and quite disturbing.
People Matching Artworks: An Unusual Photo Series By Stefan Draschan.
More info: Website | Instagram | Tumblr
Most of us were bored at some museum at least once in our lives – except this guy! France-based photographer Stefan Draschan always keeps himself entertained at art galleries by creating his own art projects.
One of those projects is “People matching artworks”. Although at first Draschan’s images seem perfectly staged, the secret behind them is actually patience. The photographer enjoys visiting different museums mostly in Paris, Vienna and Berlin where he waits for visitors to suddenly match with a piece of art in a funny way. The result is these humorous and unique pictures of unexpected harmony between people and the artworks they’re facing. It’s usually the outfits that match the art, but there are also people who match with the paintings because of their hair styles and colors, or…
