This is a collection of short stories. They combine brief descriptions of men, snap-shots of women, fragments of stories and atmospheres and simple scenarios where you can stay a while, look around and see how you feel.

The stories are told at a contracted pace that is often similar to a photo shoot or video footage which lingers no longer than necessary.
