Despite my screen name, my name is not Anouk. Anouk is one of my favorite books characters of all time, in the book Chocolat, by Joanne Harris. I love the name also, so I've been using the phrase "She was Anouk" for a lot of user names and such.

I entered the adventure of taking a self portrait every day for 365 days. Let's see if I can make it.

I love to get private messages, so if you dare just tell me about yourself. My name is Madalena.

    "Madalena is blessed with so many things. A striking personality, a kind heart, an amazing creative side, and she is quite beautiful. Madalena is the kind of person that we all aspire to be like, and that we look up to for inspiration. She always have such lovely concepts and ideas, that go hand-in-hand with very thoughtful descriptions. Her comments always make my day & I love the fact that she tries to help everyone on flickr as much as possible by providing them with critism that will not only help them grow, but achieve what they wish!

    I hope you get far, because you're incredible. I hope to see you in the near future, dear Australian to be ;)

    "There is softness, intensity, elegance, emotion, and beauty in each and every one of She was Anouk (Madelena's) photographs. She is a HUGE inspiration and motivator, to myself and others as artists, and this shows in not only her images but also in her words. Madelena is the kind of person that makes flickr a good place for a starving artist because of her kindness.
    Her photographs explode with grace and emotion. From every hairflip, to facial expression, to the gentle placement of her hands, every bit of each photo captivates me and inspires me.
    If you aren't calling her a contact yet, you really should. You will never regret it. :)"
