...the first dream

Pushing the drought aside
Opening up
Fanning my yellow eye
On the ferry
That’s making the waves wave
Illumination
This is how my heart behaves"

Amazing; it certainly looks like a dream! Fantastic job here; it makes me wonder what is going on... but then again dreams defy explanation anyway.

Yes, it IS a dream in stirring brown-black tones...complete with a dream's ambiguity and sensory delight.

It is dreamlike. And with dreams, there is always a story. Nicely done.

I look at this image for a few minutes now, i love it so much, one of my fav at your place, Sharon, this light is so captivating. This beautiful woman seems attracted by the light on the other side of the window and this double path within the window pane. So mysterious, a dream, indeed, we're in... How did you do that ? She posed for you ? Where were you both ? This set with all the balloons seems like a movie set. Operatic in its mood too. I feel full of questions about it but you're not obliged to answer, the strengh of your wonderful image does it, mute & deep. Thanks for sharing this sweet beauty ~

@k@: Thanks Karine. Actually, I shot a wedding as a favor to a friend a couple of years ago. Not my favorite thing to do, but I was at least able to be creative and get some shots that I wanted to take, as well as the more traditional ones they wanted. It's something I won't ever do again though... :)

Love the extraordinary mood of this shot, and absolutely love Feist too. Her voice fits so well with your image, especially in this song i didn't know and i've just been listenning... All our dreams are in suspension... Thank you very much for this moment, Sharon.

One of your very finest and a perfect example of your ability to 'experience' a shot rather than simply 'see' it like the rest of us. Your exchange with Karine, above, makes me smile. Been there.

Wonderful image, the blur really makes it dream-like. A picture to come back to, it may have several interpretations. And it is beautiful, just beautiful.

this is lovely! the woman's updo gives the whole image a very japanese feeling. and i know what you mean about weddings and creative photography - every time i see a photo magazine article on new creative wedding photographers i open it quickly expecting to see something exciting and original ... not yet.

Reno from Cd de México, Mexico
Very creative...This is an excellent photo of wedding...! I like how you've translated the idea of dream: there is something dramatic - tragic - in it...the window can be a dangerous "way". Beautyfull light and play with it. Love you world!
