Description
Generally I am not too keen on "abused bride fetish" images, but the setting was so fitting that I couldn't resist taking this "discarded porcelain doll" shot.
stories to interpret the image are welcome.
moment of honesty: I applied lots of post-processing here (skin whitening, background-blurring, etc).

she dreamed her last
dream as the house burned
green hills & blue skies
while the walls around her turned
black
and he
screamed
scrabbling
pounding
unheard
at the door
unable to
reach her
so
sound
was
her
sleep
the door held & the house fell & she still
dreams
believing
she'll be
wed tomorrow
but the green hills are scattered
now with empty doors
heaped portals of
impotence through
which he cannot

well, I'd be more inclined to say it's yours...
but yes, the words were filtered from your image through my brain.

I love this image. So much emotion in it.
*giggles* I wondered if that was a curtain! I did that in my living statue image. Found the perfect setting and then frantically searched for lace curtains.

yes yes yes, the skirt is a curtain.

To me this immediately clicks with "a broken home"
The bride was just married and suddenly realizes, once it's too late, that it won't work. The slightly ill look on her face reminds me of the feelign when you've been hiding the subtle signs from yourself, and lied to yourself, and pretended everything's fine, and then you burst and realize the truth.
Excellent job. I love the popping contrast of her hair.

You're not guilty, my love
of the world being so dull.
You're not guilty, my love
of so many gunshots.
She goes by the street crying
tears of gold.
She goes by the street gushing
tears of gold.
Dance, my baby
tears of gold.
Something like that...I thought it went well with the picture.

Tu no tienes la culpa, mi amor
que el mundo sea tan feo.
Tu no tienes la culpa, mi amor
de tanto tiroteo.
Va por la calle llorando
lagrimas de oro..
Va por la calle brotando
lagrimas de oro.
Baila, mi nena
lagrimas de oro.

I can only guess about the content with my non-existent spanish knowledge (cry golden tears? it's not your fault? dance, my baby?), but it seems appropriate.

after playing the corpse bride at a haunted house for a season i think she has it pretty good (pre-tim burton film)
what cuased the crash?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
oh, never ask about the cause of the crash............... it's for your own good. you could not sleep calmly anymore if you knew.........

To me it looks like she has lost her love, her home, her sanctity -- all in one day. Lovin' the red hair amidst the white. Cool concept as per usual.

thanks!
yes, exactly, she looks like a completely belonging-less person. I think she also lost her soul in the process.

vhogy engem is a fehér-vörös kontraszt vonz nagyon.
a fűtöl és a fakó szinektől olyan régies, mégis mellbevágóan valóságos, kézzelfogható, tapintható lett. nem minden fotón érzem azt h ez a valóság és létezik, és akár ott állhatnék én is a fotós mellett. de ennél igen. és ez jó m hitelt ad annak amit mondasz a kompozicióval.
ellenben az arckifejezése nem tetszik. de a kéztartás: azta!
sztem hátul a nászajándékok vannak. mindenki tudja h saját házat szeretne a pár, így besegít mindenki egy kicsivel: egy ajtó, egy ablakkeret, egy kis üveg...

move? move? where, mister? when?
were you assisted by the movers and the shakers (matthew herbert: scale, track 2)?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
i wish i was assisted by someone! we bought a place just outside of town so the kid could go to a decent public school. and so he could have his own room [and us too!] and so i could have a room or 2 to work in as well. been here a week and it feels right. if not confusing!

I see, I see.

of course it is possible!
if you use PhotoShop, just select an area (either with one of the lasso tools, or with an elliptical/rectangular marquee), apply some "feather" on it to make the edges of the selection smooth, and then anything you do will only happen in the selected area.
