Description
probably won't keep this up... just needed to scream a bit.also.. I can't tell how well the image is compressing; my hand me down monitor is not graphically endowed - compressed jpgs look like over compressed gifs in my save for web preview...

This piece speaks volumes - love everything from the title, concept and composition to the use of B&W (or maybe dark sepia) and lighting - BRAVO

I was so surprised this came out like it did - I wasn't really 'trying' to make a compelling image as much I was just trying to express... eh, I guess that sorta the idea, right? Thanks man, really appreciated as this is one of my favorites

wow - that hit pretty hard emotionally.
i don't feel so alone now.

thank you so much.
there was about a 8 month build up to this image, and the tension wasn't released until about two months after this was shot.
this is truly a cathartic image for me... it helped a lot to be able to create this. I am flattered that it's touched somebody.
Take care, and thanks

the way they're stacked and smelling.

i'd scream to if i had dishes like that, which i have before, this does seem like an anger piece, or just a release of stress, love the tones it goes well with it! excellent work
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yes, definately some anger there, and very bit purge of stress/emotional torment. not to mention the amount work involved in cleaning things up...
thanks so much, it means much my friend.. a very persona piece I was borderline on sharing...
take care!

great picture. so many dishes though! 
i love the tattoo also. very interesting place to get it. and not to mention how not everything i revealed. i think this works better than had it been a full frontal view.
best wishes!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh, I am definately not ready to for the full frontals of myself ! anyways, this was one of a few shots, and forturnately it was best expression mixed wiht lack of, *ahem* details. the others just didn't work.
thanks so much for the 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
well, i am not about to do any full frontals myself.
i'm pretty bashful when it comes to nudity...well my own at that.

I really like the way you are able to grab an emotion or cast some kind of poetic drama to your photos, its real art, and its a glimpse into your own psyche as well. Keep this going I really am digging these works Jerry.

Thank you my friend, means alot - and your comment was too sweet and on the spot... thanks so much, I'll try and keep it goin...

This is really great man. Packs allot punch. I really like the angle and focus. The lighting is so cool, and have your faced darkened out was the wise thing to do, adds so much more mystery. Very very very well done.

"When you feel like you're reaching the end of your rope, don't give up, and tie a knot. 'Cause remember there ain't nobody bad like you." You dig?
Great shot.

thanks very much, appreciate the sentiment (and the the comments too) and you know I totally got the reference. Odd, I just passed that on to somebody earlier this week too.

I LOVE that tattoo. ooo. It's hard for me to like a tattoo on someone's body, especially a guys, but man. Nice shot too.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thank you for the thoughtful comments, really appreciate it.
really need to get the tattoo filled in someday. I've done it like hundred times with markers, but it just wont stay...
funny, I can't remember what it looked like before I got it either. I agree, I don't like most tattoos on people.
thanks for the comment on the photo, it was difficult. take care!

i love the image, and the title really explains a lot - "more than just dishes" damn, i know how that feels; being on the brink, when one little chore turns into more than that, and it can just push you over the edge...
ha...endowed... 
you and your candid, provoking shots...always showing the base of your " manhood." ha, sorry, that was too far...i couldn't help but say it, though. 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yep... the dishes are only the icing on the cake..or the cherry on top. but this was good to get over with, good to shoot, and liberating to see finished. I'm struck that it's been received so well really.
thanks love for the nice words

i think it's because so many people can relate. 
you're a wonderful artist. 
so, uh, got any pictures that show more than just...uh...nevermind...heh...

This shot has some serious attitude. Great composition and absolutely superb lighting. Very strong image.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
thank you 
This was a shot that wasn't emotionally planned... like, " I know just how to represent this crappy experience..." it was an afterthought. I was compelled to take it, then afterwards it hit me.. sorry if it sounds pretentious, but really that's how a lot of my work happens...
anyhow, thank you so much, you are all too kind !

Inspiration never sounds pretentious.

I'd have to agree with you.
They're the last thing you want to do when you're sh**ty!

overwhelmed, overworked
weary, angry but too paralyzed
to do much about it.
baked cookies, lotsa coffee
some juice to move through
the missing vitamins.
and blessed sleep with twisted dreams.

Thank you so much
especially the twisted dreams!

The image looks fine, and man, doesn't THIS speak to everyone. It's exactly the way I feel now.
Great job, Jerry.
Though, I have to admit, I never though about doing dishes nekkid.

Thank you Sterling, you're nod means a lot, really.
hate the feeling, making this subdued it somewhat, but you know, can't escape the inevitable, just gotta dig in...
I never did think about it either really... state of mind drives crazy actions sometimes!

the compression is fine, and man do i know what you're feeling. been through alot lately.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
thank you, glad people can relate, or maybe not, cause it's sick feeling that I wouldn't wish upon people. hanging tough though, it'll all work out sometime.
