beautiful. could be viewed as a positive counter-complementer-pair to the veil of torin (you know, the one which is said to have kept the form of Jesus). i'd really love to make something out of this... to twist it and to alter it... could i... please? (it won't be a problem if you say no, of course, just say something )

I've come back to this photo a few times, coming to different conclusions almost each time. I think what makes me nuts about your photo is that it contradicts itself to me.
Rock. Skin toughened and soiled by life's weather...but no. I can't see that anymore for some reason. I did at first but now, for some reason I perceive more warmth from the delicate folds of clothing embracing her intimately and love or compassion from the fixation of the cradled hands together. Maybe it's the soft words in your description or maybe I'm just weird
I began commenting on this late last night, but failed to finish with my words not able to translate my thoughts.
So here i am after my daily cups of morning coffee, hoping that my mind is clear enough to express itself through these hands of mine.
You know, you have this gift for seeing the deeper, underlying meaning in your photographs. Its really quite beautiful how you can gaze that clearly inside your self. I am quite envious of that. I think part of my problem might be that i spend so much time doing, and not enough reflecting. It's only recently that i've begun to question what may lie neath the surface.
I wonder if when you take these photos, you see the truths then or do they not reveal themselves until later? And if you shoot much more than you share here or if you're quite selective in what you photograph? Either way, i wouldnt change a thing. You are doing the right thing whatever the case may be... it shines so clearly.
As for this photo, the description instantly reminded me of the photograph of the beautiful smoking woman in my gallery. I was reminded of what i see when i look around me. Whether we want to or not, so much of who we are and who we have been, is expressed through our stories in skin. This being our interface with the world. Gestures, gait, folds of flesh, exchange of touch, eyes that observe and eyes that ignore. Our time here written into our skin. Some of us embracing how time and life molds us, others wanting more than anything to change that skin and forget the past. How lucky we all are to be human, able to realize and share all these ideas that comprise our awareness.
I think thats what i was trying to say last night, but, trust me, it came out COMPLETELY differently
Off to go pick up some slides from the past week. All 7 rolls... i must slow down.

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
