I spent hours reading those stories over and over again and studying all the details of the accompanying illustrations. I was enchanted. All these years later, I am still drawn to fairytales, folklore, fables and mythology. They are rich with symbolism and archetypes, and their stories teach us lessons about the human heart and psyche in the most colorful and magical way.</p> <p>I just discovered this photographer, Kristy Mitchell, through someone’s post on Pinterest.com (another obsession of mine), and her work just blows me away. If you have any interest in myths and fairytales, etc. and/or photography, I highly recommend a look at her <a href="http://www.kirstymitchellphotography.com/home.php">website</a>.</p> <p>Rapunzel, copyright K.
