Artist's Comments

a little darkroom experimentation

In hindsight I probably should have used this photo as the first in the transition series. Let me know what you think.

It's about sorrow, and the way all those little I love yous turn into echos in your empty shell. Sometimes I wish I could cry. There are so many things I miss.

Gawd do I ever know what you mean right now... Excellent shot... displays your message very well. I like the hopelessness of it. (ok that sounded odd... but ya know what i mean)

Awesome

wow...its amazing how you do these...im a failure...
but....i really like the fact that it is really dark, and you cant really read whats on the papers, so that you only get the feeling of whats written on them.

I liked the 1st one better. It was darker and worked with the mood of the piece. I like this one though because you're smaller and it seems like youre almost drowning in the letters.

hope you're coping well.
at least you're turning your emotions into art. That always helps

First... you are not a failure!
moving on... The full sized prints are actually mostly legible... just didn't want to upload mega-sized photos so people with low resoloutions would have to scroll all over the place. It's kinda nice where you see it at a distance and can see the anguish, but as you get closer the reason is spelled out in the old letters.

The other "Holding Me" piece is a bit more in focus thanks to a little more depth of field. If I had deliberately blurred them I'd have put her heart-shaped valentine in there somewhere people would see it, or just a shit load of empty valentine cards or something. Hmmm, another idea. Anyway, thanks as always.
