Thanks for your comment. :)

You could say this image was born out of frustration that my digi cam just couldn't cut it as far as reproducing the scene as it appeared, and unfortunately I was shooting b&w film with this camera. So that added to the frustration. I shot a couple similar there on the roll though.

Ooh interesting to know, thanks. Well I was considering pursuing the concept for my folio, but wish to use some underlying concept at the same time. I was worried it'd be a bit gimmicky though. This was my first real go at it and the ones with Faith were just playing around really. I'd like to really attack it and see where it could lead, but we shall see. I might just throw the idea and this image out there to Marian and Co on Tuesday and see what the reactions are.

I have a few other ideas too, but it's a bit up in the air at the moment.

don't worry, im in the same place. not really sure where i want to go, don't really want to continue from last term, would really like to explore some ideas that have been floating around for a while now.... I don't know if i can major in art, i dont think im.... arty enough for it its all so conceptual and... im sure you could appreciate this, sometimes at the sacrifice of aesthetics. I think photography is the balance between the two.
but anyway

i think its great, not gimmicky at all. it COULD be, but i dont think you would let it be gimmicky. I have faith :P

We shall see! I think the struggle of trying to get a concept across properly and make it actually look good, or make your pretty pictures have meaning, really does help us to grow and to establish what is worthwhile. It always seems so difficult and sometimes feels a bit fake, but the effort really shows if you pull it off.

I think I've finally learnt that people telling you to do it their way has its benefits in forcing you to question and shift and shape your work, and this is the best thing to take out of it rather than just be frustrated with arrogance and disagreements.

Oh well, for now...it's taking a photo of a piece of paper. :D

I love the camera, such a great conception

-Why are you still here?

In the essence of figuring out why I still exist, in an inexistent world.
Maybe I will find something or just see that there is truly nothing for me.
