We select not what we are born with but we need to learn how to love what and whom we are. Without self love we find internals we reject like the rubic's cube of parts,the mystery of arm tattoos, the precision of a hair style. Lost within our spaces we tend towards self doubt, self delusion and emptiness surrounding. Internal doubts fashion external fixations that mask true identities. The photos match the internal personality to the external candid.

Not only is it just phoenomenal to me visually, but as M.S. above said, "By the last shot the model seems to be trying to escape view by the world entirely, which I think is very effective...". It made me want to cry a bit, that last one, especially knowing your thoughts and of course the passage.Frieda Babbleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11055267289460549990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1589722752603511645.post-69166129179339058492009-08-27T05:07:48.378-07:002009-08-27T05:07:48.378-07:00Thanks for the comments.

What I do like about the bottom three images is that you get a greater sense of loneliness, introspection, contemplation. The top image has other merits that are bolder in it's statement and maybe that is why the lower images speak more. It is a quieter talk but I think that may be appropriate for what is both an internal/external conflict but one that is dealt with usually in private.William Zubackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02584774871717650028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1589722752603511645.post-883312524602117312009-08-26T19:40:31.594-07:002009-08-26T19:40:31.594-07:00I love the second image because there's a lot ...I love the second image because there's a lot of frustration there, but it's shown with her body, not with her face. I agree with M.S. that the last three photos work well as a series. For me, the first photo feels out of place — not just because the scale is different but because her facial expression seems so prominent. Great excerpt, by the way, whoever chose it.Naomihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12208386238252814764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1589722752603511645.post-53197923660016939592009-08-26T11:56:56.202-07:002009-08-26T11:56:56.202-07:00Interesting points.

I thought the last three photos worked really well as a series, portraying that feeling of insecurity about our own bodies described in the book passage.

In particular I liked the top image with the model turning the rubic's cube of body parts. I felt that the bottom one was a little too "arty" with its exaggerated use of negative space. But that's just me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1589722752603511645.post-75449020645244180522009-08-26T08:41:15.790-07:002009-08-26T08:41:15.790-07:00So good.
