Have you ever had a dream, that you were so sure was real? What if you were unable to wake from that dream? How would you know the difference between the dream world and the real world?

What you know you can't explain, but you feel it. You've felt it your entire deviant life, that there's something wrong with the story. You don't know what it is, but it's there, like a splinter in your mind, driving you mad.

You take the blue pill, the story ends. Your browser closes and you believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill, you stay in wonderland. And, I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes.

I offer only the truth, nothing more.

Take: The Red Pill
Take: The Blue Pill

spyed, nobody has ever done this before.
I know. That's why it's going to work.

Dolls, huh? That's an interesting interpretation, never heard that one before. But I see it, now that you've mentioned it. It does creepify it some, too. Thank you again for your thoughts

I'm sorry for a cut-and-paste note but it's the only way to reply to so many comments.
-----

Firstly, thank-you for taking the time to view and coment 'Passion s 2' . It was a difficult decision weather to submit it or not, which image to submit, and I actually regret not posting my original choice, which was the direct follow up to 1: just heads and shoulders, and a kiss that could be interpreted in so many ways (from playful to loving to lovers).

A few thoughts in reply to some of the comments:

- I submit work on DA to share it with people, not to upset anyone: it seems that the subject matter however is considered 'sick' by a number of viewers. I apologise to them, however I fail to see how beauty and positive emotions (love or passion) between adults are 'sick', whilst bloodied bodies or staged suicide pictures (both very common and approved on DA) are not. Again however, apologies, and maybe avoid clicking in the future if the icon hints of an image that might upset you

- As stated before, I believe that the merit is indeed with the wonderful and wonderfully expressive models, however does that make the image less worthy of sharing? It might make me talentless, but here we are appreciating this image, not me

- I'm a little disturbed by the constant references to porn and perversion. Frankly I think that if it was a man and a woman in the embrace, no-one would have called it porn. Is two girls such a disturbing and perverted sight? Never mind that one is married, they are best friends, and the emotions can be interpreted in so many ways: some playful, some more There is nothing explicit here, so it's the viewer that is interpreting.....

That's all I can think of now, sorry if I missed addressing your particular issue or question To everyone that took the time to comment, thank-you, and to those that enjoyed the two images, I am considering doing a quick web page in the coming weeks with the 10 best images from the shoot.

Thanks again,

C
