I'm so into what she is doing! Check out more of her portfolio at www.fraugrau.de. The following work, entitled "There's a feeling / That lingers in the afterwards / Will you ever return", is a ... http://theenrighthouse.com/blog/fraun-grau/ Thank you Roger for shooting this video and sharing it with us!
