i am fading.

i'm afraid of being forgotten. it sounds selfish, and i suppose it kind of is, but that's the only thing i'm absolutely terrified of. if you're held at gunpoint, you might die, but it's only your body that's killed. but if you're forgotten, you've died forever. someday i want two people i used to know to remember me. i don't care why. i don't who they are. and i don't care if they're smoking marijuana or drinking or hanging out or just sitting on the curb waiting for the world or saying terrible things about me.

i just can't stand the thought of being forgotten.

-- an excerpt from my journal today.

p.s.

the fading of my body isn't done by photoshop or layering...the photo actually turned out that way.

    Ok.
    First of all?
    You have the cutest dresses I have ever seen.
    When we meet, you best share your wardrobe. :)
    That ring is super cool, too.
    Second.
    You're absolutely gorgeous, hun.
    Third.
    I'm pretty sure this is get redundant, but this photo, as are all your photos, is beautiful.
    You have quite a talent for taking breathtaking, powerful photos.

    Are you midair? That's amazing!

    And that blanket that seems to be following you in each of your recent photos looks absolutely delicious, like a big marshmallow. mmm comfy.

    Is this a double exposure of how does it work? Either way, I love it a lot

  5. casimms (43 months ago | reply)

    terrific lighting. :O
    You do seem like your fading.
    Especially your hair.
    mhm. yes.

  6. taraviolet. (43 months ago | reply)

    oh my gosh.
    this is truly so exquisite.
    it wrenches my eyes out of my sockets, grabs my speech out of my mouth.
    i am starting off with your beauty.
    you're so gorgeous it's absolutely insane.
    i love your outfit too :)
    i love the motion of your hair,
    i love the lighting,
    your expression,
    the reflections and textures (of the blanket for example).
    i love the way you fade.
    and that it's not photoshop.
    it adds to the dreaminess.
    your words are remarkable.
    i agree.
    i'm afraid of being forgotten.
    and, well, i'm afraid of death in general too.

    i know that i will never forget you, though i've never met you
    i wish i did, so i could give you a hug or make you laugh and forget your worries
    :[

    this photo is so appropriate to all life - things fade

  13. dan.dee.lion [deleted] (43 months ago | reply)

    wow. truly amazing. and i love that you said that you didnt use photo shop to edit the fading part. its a nice change to the people that brag about how photoshopped something is. amazing as always! aaaaaand, the excerpt is amazing writing, but now that i think about it, thats one of my greatest fears too.

  14. dan.dee.lion [deleted] (43 months ago | reply)

    hmmmm, i dont think that came out right but whatever. do you kinda get what im saying? just a little bit?

  15. casimms (43 months ago | reply)

    I'll always remember you.
    count on it.

  16. michele mobley (43 months ago | reply)

    i think this is my favorite piece of yours.

  17. nikki.jane (43 months ago | reply)

    This is stunning. I am always afraid of that too. Like I want to somehow be able to make my mark in the world, but I'm afraid I won't.

    and don't worry, I'll remember you.

    I promise:)

  18. nikki.jane (43 months ago | reply)

    and my goodness, Olivia. Your writing is amazing. Even if it was just in your journal, most people write about their crush or something, but you seriously left me wanting more.

  19. zack henningsgaard (43 months ago | reply)

  23. murakami.kenta (43 months ago | reply)

    brilliant, it would take me a year to get this right,
    love the comforter, seeing it again and again, and I cant get enough
    your expression, dreaming of a different world
    a gust of wind just blew through the window from the endless night
    whisking you away to a far off place.
    Brilliant as always
    inspiring as ever

  37. Margtography (43 months ago | reply)

    All I have to say is that you're more than brilliant.

    I wish everyone could tell so much through photos.

    I wish I could even compare to your ability to make people feel what you're feeling.

    It's beautiful.

  38. Eleanor Hardwick (43 months ago | reply)

    this is so beautiful olivia
    probably one of my favourite photos of yours
    you are just unbelievable
    you get better and better
    and when i think you can't get any better
    you get better

    the glassy light is incredible, cast with shadows of leaves and window panes and lightly misting like an overexposed mirage or leaking film. curling white white duvet, slithering around your ankles like a splash of water. you look so serene. you look like lily cole almost. your hair curling and soaring into flight with perfectly pleated and creased lilac curtains framing you. was this shot through a window?

    i drew it. because i'm tired and i always draw people's photos, they just don't know it.

    and with the colours edited:

    the shading is totally weird and she doesnt look like you but i tried

  39. Eleanor Hardwick (43 months ago | reply)

    ps. this photo reminds me of a song

    i am falling
    i am fading
    i have lost it all
    help me to breathe

    i'll send you it one day.
