Description Today I had a lot of fun shooting, went all around town and soaked up the sun, even chased around a butterfly for a while! haha, it was great.

"What If"
lyrics
Song

This picture interprets this song in two ways, physically and Visibly.

Visibly, the song is slow and sad, very touching, moving, a little dark, but gives the idea of energy built up, a chain of events leading to one thing. The picture is colorless and dark, which parallels the song being slow and sad. The symbol of the American flag is life for some people, making this picture touching.

Physically, the song is titled "What if." lyrics include "what if they're was no light, nothing wrong, nothing right." I think if this was true humans could throw down their material possessions, they're territorial defenses, and simply get along. In my photo I have tried to show the miserable American flag once it has been forgotten. It Marks the end of an Era, a day that most likely will not come in our life time.

I liked reading your thought process for shooting this piece. You've made a interesting and very true point about the flag representing life and a new start for many. Sadly, it can also signify pain for some as well. I was also just thinking of July 4th the other day, too.

I wish I knew more about the pain my country has caused...unfortunately I am rather young and ignorant. One day I will see and tell.

thank you I cant wait for the 4th!

I'm older than you and still there's things I don't know about. I think that as long as we're willing and wanting to learn, then that's important.

I noticed you live in Alaska--how exciting! I've always wanted to go there.

Has a huge melancolic feling to it in my opinion, very nice shot, you managed to capture the ambience well.
