LOLITA
Inspired by the 1962 film Lolita.
This photograph was taken in Hangzhou, China, with a Sony a7r3.
The young girl in the white dress lying on the grass, bathed in sunlight, is truly holy and beautiful.
“Lolita, light of my life, fire of my loins. My sins, my soul. Lo Lee Ta: the tip of the tongue upward, three steps down the palate teeth. Luo. Li. Pagoda.”
"I think the buffalo and the angel, in secret to durable pigments, prophetic sonnets, the refuge of art."
“She was Lo, plain Lo, in the morning, standing four feet ten in one sack. She was Lola in slacks. She was Dolly at school. She was Dolores on the dotted line. But in my arms she always Lolita."
