i sense nightmares and blackouts - binge drinking and painful loss. very heavy, ambiguous subject matter. excellent sense of oppression.

@dj.tigersprout: thanks so much dj.tigersprout. Yes...you get the gist of what I was trying to show/portray here!

I can close my eyes and say:
any part of your work is nice!

@Death: thanks Death, you are so very kind :)

paulski from Muncie, IN, United States

very nice. i like the creative de-focusing here, as well as the almost two-tone nature of the piece. very evocative, beautiful...

@paulski: Thanks so much paulski! I've always wanted to try my hand as portraits, but with a twist. Finding a willing model has always been an issue though.

Matt Sutton from Sydney, Australia

misty, dark, sensuous, innocent even. makes me think of times alone pondering existence. great image. great model ;-)

@Matt Sutton: Thanks Matt! Nice to know this comes across just this way :)

Baz from Teglia, Afghanistan

Beautiful! Amazing how a de-focused image could give such a clear feeling, well done!

@Baz: Ah! Thanks so much Baz!

dan from Paris, France

It's suggestive! The vagueness brings the sweetness which goes to this portrait !
Another beautiful and fine realization !

why thank you!

SD (Aspherical) from Atlanta, United States

Nice, I like how the portrait almost, but not quite, becomes secondary to all that's going on with the texture of the grain/noise and the graphic quality of all the negative space. I get the feeling of being unglued - like after a night of heavy drinking when you wake up and aren't quite all there for the rest of the day.

Interesting insight into the feminine mind.

Phototherapy from Switzerland

Wonderful b_w, I feel a lot of gentleness and something wild and evocative at the same time :)
Lynch again, do you know his photographic work?

26 Mar 2009 9:28pm

@Phototherapy: Thanks so much, your words are appreciated. A very personal image for me, revealing of emotion...or perhaps I'm just too close to it. No...I do not know the photographs of Lynch, but now I am intrigued!

k@ from Paris, France

And this one, overwhelming motion, strengh & despair at the same time. I'm beautifully moved - love that !
