Kamila Stösslová, 1917



Even though the movements will be all over the place, you will get the idea. Here, Janacek opens his heart for a woman (albeit 38 years his junior), the same way we all have at one point or another. He wrote her over 700 letters, and although she never left her husband for him and was pretty ambivalent in response to Janacek's affection, Kamila engaged and eventually requested her end of the correspondence to be burned. She was with him when he died in 1928.

About Me

My Photo
I'm an LA transplant now living in Manhattan. I used to take too many camera phone photos despite never having purchased an additional memory card. That was the main form of photo evidence for my "haciendo" and "viendo" until Kristen, an LA based friend I share the having of a knife tattoo behind my ear with, gave me her old Fujifilm camera, which has since DIED. Kristen is now removing her knife tattoo from behind her ear, while mine is still in tact, for better or for worse. The camera died on my first day in Lisbon. The last image it captured was a collection of traditional blue & white ceramic wares displayed in a storefront window. Whatever I was trying to photograph afterwards wasn't worth it. I write and produce film projects, have a dangerous predilection for vintage Robinson Golluber scarves and this blog serves as a window to everything else I do when I'm not satisfying those first two passions. I'm trying to blog more and tweet less @annabelleqv. What about you?
