darkhairedgirl's photostream
|
the religious belief that a photograph can steal a soul
is still ingrained in many cultures worldwide.
this belief stems from the old folklore beliefs
that mirrors could steal or trap souls.
a photo captures a specific moment, the reality
as it existed, the energy of people and places
in a quick one second snap that renders
living, expanding energy motionless -
transforming the electricity of life
into something one dimensional...
and perhaps what connects us so deeply to
photographs is that some part of our souls
recognize the energy imprint,
the importance of documenting
the living, breathing, whirling, twirling,
crazysadbeautiful world around us...
and in the end, maybe the photographer has
less to do with trapping of souls or nullifying
energy, and everything to do with simply
honoring life itself.

Cher Ping says:
"Oh dear. I'm not sure which i enjoy more about DHG - her perspective + photos, or her wit + thoughtful responses.
Take the time to look at her photos, to enjoy her world and to comment on her pictures - you'll find many-a-hidden gem in her pictures and responses. :)"24th December, 2008

"DHG and I met at an Assignment Houston Meet-Up on January 20th, 2007. I did not know of her photostream prior to that (shame on me) but I knew that I wanted to be her friend the instant I met her. She is the most beautiful, kind, warm-hearted person that I've ever crossed paths with. We connect on so many levels and I have a very special place for her in my heart. Thank you flickr for leading me to my best friend, my other half and the coolest cool kid on the planet.
She is one of the most talented photographers that I've come across; her attention to detail is more than amazing and her perspective is always unique. Her creativity never ceases to amaze me; I don't even have to say anything about her self portraits, they speaks volumes themselves.
DHG is a beautiful person all around. I'm so thankful for her friendship, for Meat Loaf, for our shenanigans and for the wonderful memories we've made together. I am a better (and much cooler) person because she's my friend and I'm looking forward to filling several chapters in my book of life with Meat Loaf and shenanigans."28th February, 2008

"DHG is one of those people who if she left flickr there would be riots across the world. Her eye for photographic opportunities is as sharp as her quick wit. Plus she introduced me to using bold in comments as well as fantastic stickers and musical taste.
As soon as i turn 21 I'm road tripping across country to have a drink with DHG!"24th December, 2007

"She's exactly the type of girl I'd love to drink Jagermeister with (and whose front porch, I'm guessing, is very accomodating).
Oh, and her photos are fantastic as well."8th May, 2007
