"It was love at first sight,
and at last sight,
at ever and ever sight."
"And the rest is rust and stardust."
-Vladimir Nabokov, Lolita
Just before the sun set, we gathered together blankets, some old books, and my mother's vintage plates and drove to Oatley Park. Lois brought her film camera and asked to take a few photos of me.
The idea was to emulate a retro, playful and childlike feel, hence the title of the post: 'Lolita', named after the famous literary nymphet immortalised by Vladimir Nabokov. So I put my hair in a ponytail, put on some lipstick and we played around in the afternoon sunlight. It was a perfect afternoon.
