Loss



Sometimes doing this project is therapuetic.

The green surrounding you, the diffused light behind you on one side, but clear on the other combined with the expression on your face, makes this photo haunting. I keep staring at it.

Oh my. This photo makes me want to come through the screen and give you a hug! Beautiful, in a sad way.

And no one has asked you yet what "loss" means... I hope the loss is nothing too big but your face makes me almost cry.

Much love and hugs.

I tried to put into words last night what it means. In some ways the losses were sudden but they continue to haunt me. The past six months have been full of losses... loss of community(s), loss of trust, the feeling of being displaced coming into clearer magnification... I don't always feel this way, at least not lately, but the feeling comes on me like the shadow of a cloud drifting overhead and it leaves in the same way. Taking a photo yesterday helped it to move along. I have no idea why.

Darn it... obviously the above post is from me and not Jeff... that's what we get for sharing the same laptop to do our 365 postings.

This picture just says "pain." It's so well done.

Sorry for the sad losses, dali. This picture is poignant. How do you do things like that? Your photos amaze me.

Well, for this photo... I simply placed the camera on my dresser and took a couple photos (about 5) with the hope that they'd turn out. As you can see, it isn't focused but I actually am glad that it turned out that way but it wasn't planned. I merely pushed the button and hoped.
