About the twinkling of an eye / Oksana

.:. ME

Hi there... :) My name is Oksana; I'm 16 and live in Canada. I enjoy writing, art, music, theology, graphic design, and, of course, photography.

I have a personal web site, which you can view by clicking here. (Please note: it is best viewed in IE, because other browsers might not support tables, and that would mess up all my alignments.) It hasn't been updated in a lo-o-ong time, but hopefully you can still enjoy it. :)

I have a photoblog which has reflections on the photos I post on Flickr, as well as various other miscellanies:

My previous username was Winter Light.

.:. PHOTOS

I hope you enjoy the photos I've posted up here... I've got flowers, nature shots, mundane objects from around my house, and plenty of sky. Most of the sky shots were taken from my window. I've also posted some of my sketches, paintings, and clipart. I'm always open to comments and critique on my work.



If you'd like to use one of my photos or clipart images in any project, feel free to do so, just let me know beforehand. You don't have to credit me or anything. :) However, you are only allowed to use my work in G-RATED projects/websites, so please bear that in mind.

5 reasons I am a photographer/Flickrite:

1. To build relationships and make friends.
2. To capture the intricacy and creativity God puts into his creation.
3. God gave everyone a different, special way of seeing things ... this is a chance to show mine.
4. To see how others see things.
5. To do my best to fill Flickr with as much beauty as I can.

.:. POETRY

Please visit my AllPoetry account to read some of my poetry.



Here's one of my works:

MOORS

the moors lie as an open canvas
blown smooth by the wind,
barrenness, barrenness, barrenness that
gives birth to so much poetry.

the opening dawn brushes the heart
steals it away into the sweet, the familiar mundane
wavering chords of birdsong
weave through thick emptiness
fading, fading, fading
into the fog; straying,
waking in the rain.

lost hopes are called back
and loves wander into the sun
leaving the nest behind,
circling, circling, circling
over the gentle folds of the earth.
