Description In a house of entropy
And unable to settle,
Bleached by thought
I am left here content -
Striped of sight and finding
Beauty in my surroundings
As they leach their heat away.

Taken with the SLR, part of the Old house series
Edit: boader, Contrast, photo filter etc,


This image will more than likely be used as a final of photography> expressive portrait for my art folio.
So comments more than welcome

Wow. The model and her surroundings are such direct contrasts that I am dumbfoundedly loving this so much. A nice selection of words too. How I would love to come across something like this.

amazing picture.
i love the feeling it gives off, the inner peace and calmness you show.
simply sitting there and letting the light in. and everything with it.
the little glow your skin have where the light hit it adds softness to the picture, making it look serene, even if the light is really harsh and highly contrasted.

and, on a final note, i just LOVE your boots.
apparently out of place, but perfectly fitting in the general mood.

:favlove: for sure.

p.s. dear, you don't need professional light if you can use the sun this way

Great photo, you have come along way on this site. Again the colours bring out a 'painted' feel int his piece for me. The colours are rich of dark/coffee colours, giving it a dingy sordid feel, but the light pouring in adds more depth. Interesting dress/pose, I am still working on that. In terms of style the clothes contrast hugely with the surroundings, but the colours of the clothes contrast with the light. Interesting.

Cool. I like the dicjotomy between old and new. The photo initially looks old, due to the lighting, the soft grainy feel and the peeling walls. Then when you look closer, at you, you seem sharper, with more vivid colour than your surroundings and appearing far more modern than the room you're in. Good work.

I Think in most circles it's fact that objects absorb living memory - a faint glimpse of a moment in time.

I've always been drawn to old homes - "What wonders these walls could tell - if only"

So for me "as with 3rd degree" it's as much of a feel I get rather than just a look

when your perfectly still..........
the outside sounds fade away....
you feel the breeze move across your cheek.....
You open your mouth to breath in deeply........

and in that fraction of a moment...... even the particles of dust in the air hold still - you can listen to their story

Very moving piece - Thank you

would it be too kiss-ass to say that this is the sort of thing you've been leading up to all this time? this is really a magnificent (and that word surfaces very rarely in my mind) piece. i won't blabber on about the details... it's just wonderful. my new favourite favourite.

very beautiful
the light from the window shows off all the curves and struckture in ur skin it givez a great effect
i also love the faded yellow ting in the over all color
i was gona say ur pose looks a little strained like u wernt relaxed
but i think it gives a good feel to the picture
like ur not relaxin completely
like ur still in control
