Your coloursstill shine bright
Dance, dance, my sweetest butterflyWhile the light still shines in your eyesFollow the MoonFollow thr SunWhile your feet are light and your soul is warm.
Don’t wait for the snowDon’t wait for the nightWhile your roof can be made of stars.
Sweep the storms awayWhile the wind can kiss your wings.Stand up from your shellWhile the rain can’t wash away your footprints in the clouds.
Don’t hide from yourselfDon’t hide from lifeWhile your soul aims to live and be complete.You can still breathYou can still feelEven if the whole world seems upside down.
Fly, fly, my gentle butterfly.Your sorrows won’t stop the time.Your colours still shine bright.
Your wings may be made of dust and water.But you are dust from the starsand water from earth.You are only real.
That’s why you flyThat’s why you live.Nothing will erase your presence…Here, there, everywhere…
Your strength is invisible.Your final frontier is to defeat the pain…You have wingsYou are more than a puppet in the scenery of life.
And if the coloufurl dust of your fragile wings Happens to fall in my empty hands, My hands will be full.Your wings will be my wings.Your fragility will be my strength.Your fears will be my courage.Your solitude will be my companion.
Dance, dance, my unforgettable butterfly!You were meant to danceUntil the end of time…
The First Dance of the Last Butterfly, Suy / São Ludovino, 30/6/2011
THE FIRST DANCE OF THE LAST BUTTERFLY
«Lev Tsimring's passion for photography originates in Russia where he spent the first 30 years of his life. Since 1992 he is based in San Diego, USA. In his "day life" he studies physics of nonlinear phenomena and patterns at UCSD. In his art, he studies "patterns of life" with his camera. Until the advent of the digital era, he was working mostly in traditional 35 mm color and black-and-white technique printing in his own darkroom. Today he is shooting both color and B/W with a digital camera and makes his own limited edition prints. His artistic interests range from abstract photography to portraits and landscape, but in all genres he strives to capture mood and soul of his subjects rather than their outward beauty. Lev travels extensively throughout the world, and through his photography he tries to understand and communicate the spirit of the place and the people. One of his photographic series, "The other America", which was exhibited at the Russian museum of photography in 2006, immerses us in the wonderful world of South America and its amazing culture. His photo-essay "Lacrosse, the Universe" received a Honorable Mention at the prestigious "International Photography Awards" competition in 2009. He received a Honorable Mention at the WPGA's 2010 Pollux Awards competition for his photo of Shanghai skyline. In the last few years he is more and more attracted to street photography in which he enjoys capturing fleeting moments of beauty, humor, and love in everyday life.
