Hi, I am Lilith, a story-teller fascinated by photography, literature, food and eroticism.
A couple of years ago I started writing stories in words. Nowadays I mostly use pictures to tell my tales.
At the same time I am discovering the world of photography by means of self-portraits.
Come, follow me and join my fantasies.
In case of suggestions, remarks and/or questions don't hesitate to send an e-mail to: info@lilithlove.com
The PHOTO PAPER is published for an international audience hungry to see the finest contemporary work and exclusive first look at the industry's fastest rising stars. Launching with a special double-issue, the first release will salute the 3rd Annual Photography Masters Cup winners, showcasing over 600 images in 15 categories from Abstract to Wildlife.
Yesterday my 86 year old dad revealed his thoughts about him being a small oak tree. He inspired me that much I immediately felt the urge to start writing again.

Here's to my 'A one woman show'
Exactly 3 p.m. we raised our glasses: Lea, Aad/Lilith and Ed.
I would love to thank all visitors for taking the time and making the effort to come and watch my works. As well thanks to Aad and Ed who made this first solo-exhibition possible. And of course Lea for her assistance welcoming our guests on Saturday. It was a great day!

Once upon a time a young woman was living her girly life by the motto:
‘Never bite the hand that feeds you, because food is love’. Then she got married.
After many many years she woke up and realized she had turned into a monkey.
Why didn’t she get stroked being a monkey? Animals need petting.
She concluded food must be an investment instead of love.
Then she went to the wild-beast tamer and told him it’s illegal to keep a monkey at home.
The man couldn’t believe his ears; when did that monkey learn how to speak up for itself?
She quit, lost her monkey hair and continued living her girly life happily ever after taking care of her own food. http://www.pbase.com/lilithread on >>

Het besef dat je op de liefdesladder royaal eindigt onder iemands poes en slechts een klein stukje boven een geknuffelde kerstboom met kluit is een echte eye-opener. Ònder iemands huisdier. Ik ben een mens, godbetert!Het risico nemend dat ik heel dierminnend Nederland tegen me in het harnas jaag, verklaar ik hierbij een dierenliefhebster met strikte grenzen te zijn. Word ik bedreigd door hond of kat dan schroom ik niet liefdevol doch krachtig uit te halen met een gepuntlaarsde voet. Zelfverdediging. Punt uit.
In mijn ogen gerechtvaardigd, zeker sinds het recente gesprek tussen mijn minnaar en mij. Hieronder een beknopte samenvatting. read on >>

Once upon a time during a walk in the woods I met a beautiful girl. Fortunately I'd got my photocamera with me. We kissed a tiny little bit and put a spell on each other. I got tempted by her fairytale looks and she couldn't resist me taking a few snapshots.
‘Kijk eens liefje, kweeperen, voor ouderwetse kweeperenmarmelade, zoals je graag hebt.’ Trots laat hij haar twee bruine papieren zakken met harde, gele peren zien. Ze glimlacht.
‘Het is langgeleden dat ik marmelade heb gemaakt, ik moet het recept even opzoeken.’ read on >>

Deel 1.
Met een vermoeide beweging wist ze transpiratie van haar voorhoofd, donkerblonde haarslierten kleven aan haar bezwete gezicht. De klus is bijna geklaard. Het project had heel wat voeten in aarde. Eindelijk, na twee weken, is ze min of meer tevreden over het resultaat. Vanmiddag nog de puntjes op de ‘i’ zetten, daarna kan het echte karwei beginnen, ze verheugt zich er wreed op. read on >>
