Description The birdsong rang in her ears, and the grotto stood open before her, taunting her inside.

Trembling, focusing on the task at hand, she entered, and, seeing the stream wending its way into darkness, listened for the sounds she had heard would come...

Nothing at first came to her ears; then...

Enter, dear child...

... but she could not tell if it was aural, or only in her mind.

Dipping her hands into the stream, it was as she lifted them to her mouth that she realized the songs of the busy birds had stopped.

Go ahead, young child, the voice came again, suprising her with its seemingly forced tenderness. Drink.. and choose your destiny. The waters of fate await you all.

She felt suddenly haunted...

Your work is so carefully done... It seems like it.
And every time it has a well stated meaning, your art has a voice...
Thank you for sharing it.

Your ability to paint pictures and evoke emotions with your words magnifies the prodigious talent you exhibit through your visual work. The work would stand alone on the beauty and mystery which is stirred in one's soul on viewing, but when you paint pictures of the same work with your words, you add another dimension to the work which causes ones breath to catch in the throat from the purity of the combination......

Damn well done......

beautiful sounding story behind this Ira, and beautiful manip you created as well, i love the look of the waterfall and the picture of the girl you chose is perfect, the lighting matches great with the background

and also i would be interested in seeing a story stemming from this, because of what you wrote and other things you wrote for past descriptions such as poems, you would be a great story writer as well

Jomina In reply to Vidz [2004-04-19 08:12:24 +0000 UTC]

actually, instead of doing artwork of any kind, i used to write novels

Some of the images and words you guys have been seeing lately have stemmed from past writings of mine. Most, however, have all been spur of the moment stuff

And thank you VERY much, i really appreciate it

I saw this yesterday at work, but I was too busy to comment, was on my way home. I promised myself to comment today.

Man, this stuff is beautiful. Your written words makes the work even better. Excellent manipulation, very dark and light at the same time, and kind of different too. Could very well be smashed up my wall as a big poster

You are getting so good at photo manipulations. And all of the words you say on the "Artist's Comments" part just go with them SO well, and make them, somehow, even more beautiful than they already are!

Thank you Tina, for that. Actually before I got into doing photography, I wrote novels But since coming down sick I havent been able to concentrate on things long enough to do any kind of decent writing at length. Been a couple years hehe

I miss doing it, and do hope that i can pick it back up again, and soon. I still have a lot of ideas I'd love to bring to life hehehe


Thanks again for everything
