Description
there are times in our life when you seem to wander through dark valleys. you long for a ray of light to guide you out of darkness. light that warms and comforts you. we go out having fun and drown our lives in alcohol and trifles. but after all those defeats there are moments showing us a warming ray of light means more than anything in the world. cause those are the moments that count in life ...life is like a compulsive buying, problem is that we buy most of the time the wrong things
I asked natashalyonne to write some words: "i don't know what to say but.. it was worth the dirt exhaustion and uncomfortable poses. i hope garrit's as satisfied with the results as i am" I AM! More than 3 days she lived in a world of dust and shards and gave me always a charming smile. Beauty is power, a smile is its sword. She's really a wonderful person.
Each loving comment is for you. And you deserve hundreds. Thank you, natashalyonne !
technical: leica r9, 100 mm telephoto, iso 100, kodak elite chrome, scanned from dia, no editing
update: to avoid misunderstanding ->life is like a compulsive buying. The compulsive buying, symbolized by the shopping cart brings us time and (time) again to those places where a sunbeam more matters than articles of clothing from gucci, armani, etc. Hence the saying -> "life is like a compulsive buying, problem is that we buy most of the time the wrong things" In this moment, the person makes the right choice, she choose the light, an elementary requirement -> silence, safety and warmth. The person on the photo isn't the ware, she's the consumer in a life time compulsive buying.
Thank you natashalyonne for the remark

The light in this on is purrrfect! It gives it a holy touch, which contrasts a lot with the industrial background.

Technisch: einwandfrei. Mir persΓΆhnlich: gefΓ€llt es sehr! Die Idee: Der Stimme ich gΓ€nzlich zu! Grade heute habe ich in einem nicht ganz aktuellen Stern einen Artikel ΓΌber Markenmode fΓΌr Kleinkinder und Models zwischen 4 und 8 Jahren gelesen. Und ich bin wirklich sehr in ein ironisches Lachen verfallen ΓΌber soviel OberflΓ€chlichkeit und falsches GlΓΌck nur weil man Gucci trΓ€gt. Somit, kurzgesagt: One of the best conceptual pictures i've seen here browsing trough the wide wide world of dA!

I love the contrast between her and the whole of the image. I really like the colour of her dress and the stray sunbeam. Kudos! ;}

the only thing i didn't like was how her feet didn't limp at all like the rest of her body, as if she were holding them up

I have never seen a shopping cart with that particular design. Very interesting picture.

could you make a print of this please? I am really touched by the fact that this really made reference to the importance of life and the simplicity, ironically, to the relentless impolsulive and completely unsatifying behavior. The answer really is a cup of tea. The answer is a nap in the warmth of the sun. Thats where Im at right now. This picture is beautiful.. the concept is beautiful. I would be elated to put in on my wall.
