somewhere there must be a good metaphor to explain why he is facing away from her, and that they are separated by ALE. indeed, for some people, the drink keeps them separated, walled off from the world...

What shook me the most was that she has color and he has not.

Its a wonderful picture, so much details, and expressions, and life in it. It kind of expresses life itself. The woman is beautiful, she looks very happy, very peaceful. The man looks uncomfortable, does he want to be there, or does he want to be somewhere where he can relax? Didnt notice the little girl at first, she looks like she is daydreaming, far away in her mind. Their so different expressions makes you wonder where it takes place, where are they, what are they doing, waiting for a bus? Watching a game? Its a wonderful picture, i really like the words as well.

I have been thinking and thinking of this shot...Intermittently it pops into my minds-eye since I first saw it...It's a beautiful AND striking image~none of the usual tricks......But the underlying message "Women never fear Happiness"...I can't help but think..."Yes we do."...Or at least "I do."...I think we are socialized to appear as if we do NOT fear it...But we really do...I think perhaps we fear it in a different way than a man might?...But of course I do not know this for certain because I am not a man
...When we women, are truly, deeply happy for too long; we become afraid of what will threaten this happiness...How will I lose this happiness...& We keep watch for the "invisible assailant", which creates anxiety,~ which, of course... Will eventually destroy happiness because we are now to AWARE of happiness intellectually instead of just BEING happiness in it's moment...Enjoying it like the gift that is...Perhaps that we feel too entitled to happiness is our downfall? I don't know that either...
Sometimes, I feel I have actually conquered something, WON something good, when I determine to not be afraid...& Decide to bravely face happiness and trust it to be what it is, despite whatever consequences...I do not always do this...But I am learning
for this, Michel...Thinking of these things makes me feel brave

MichelCH,
I have seen your "footprint" around in a great many areas. It is good to finally be able to comment on one of your works.
I like your photograph, espcially the duality of the color reflecting each of their very different emotions. However, I somewhat disagree with the broad generalization of the statement. The intensity of emotion in a man depends a lot upon his cultural background, education level, his age (maturity level), his experiences, and his exposure to women of like experiences. Even over the broad band of these qualites, it has been my experiences that men do not have as high or low of peaks of emotion as women do in similiar situations. In some cases it may be that they are trying to act "macho" so as not to expose a weakness, but I truly believe women naturally have a greater ability to express their emotions. It is truly one of the things that makes me love women so much.
Slainte Mhor,

well, yeah. i know plenty guys that don't try to prove their masculinity, and i know a lot of girls that actually do try to make themselves look masculine. its all based off of immaturity and today's society. i dont think we have any "nature" of trying to be like that.

My friend, you really do have a soul and mind that is as beautiful and remarkable as your formidable talent.
By your own accompanying comment you in fact give truth to the reality that there is always more beneath the surface. The image taken in context with your comments -- the lovely young lady may not be what she seems and the gentlemen may be more than what you believe him to be.
Scratch the surface and each could indeed be the other.
We give the so-called "fairer sex" too much credit and underestimate men. You are here and you think and feel. You are open and honest and do not shrink from BEING. Certainly this means there are more like you. That's me -- happy to see the glass as half-full.
Love,
Sev

I like your concept and that the woman is coloured, but in the background. The duality of life is perfect for creating who you are. He is the perfect model for your picture - a man searching for himself - She would like to experience the beauty of it all and wishes to own it! Life is so perfect!!!
Thank you for your picture, i love your work!

That is so, so, true for me. I've spent all my tiem proving who and what I am, and not enough enjoying who and what I am event hough I was happy with where I was. And now, that has lead me to a place where I am not ahppy with where I am, and I am spending my time trying to get back to the place that I was happy so that I could actually show it this time around and not just spend it proving who and what I am. There's no need to prove things to people who already know them. *sigh* This has opened a hole in reality. And I think I've realized a few mistakes from this. Thanks, I really mean it. Sometimes, things just need to be put in a picture and a few words to make you see what you've been doing wrong.

Oh..this ripped right through me..I had my heart abandoned and broken this week..and I think part of it was due to the fear of what love requires..and what it offers. It can turn a "right" type person into one who just leaves, leaving you in pieces ...

beautiful shot, and i really love the statment that you're making here... its so true. guys always have to put on a fascade to hide what they're really like just because they are afraid what people may think. for a long time i was that way and catch myself doing it sometimes still. as for the piece in itself i love how you put her in color and left the guy in the dark (in a sense). the way the light hits her hair is just amazing and very beautiful- just an awesome piece like always!!!

not all men take on this unrealistic macho essence...newer generations are learning to realize that it is ok to feel all of the emotions that life brings us...my husband is one shining example of this...as well as you, my dear friend...
