2/52 - Enemy

    Gabriel & Dresden - Enemy

    Justify your faith in me
    Does it give you what you need?
    Every time, every place
    Every moment of grace
    I’m cynical I rise to the pinnacle
    Bring it to your knees

    Sentimental phases, we leave it all behind
    Incremental changes, incidental highs
    What it all comes down to
    Is what you think you see?
    But we’re worlds apart, and it breaks my heart like an enemy

    Terrified to find release
    And when you smile I know you agree
    And you’ll find if your mind’s
    All full of the clues and the criminals
    A story subliminal from lies that don’t deceive

    Sentimental phases
    Leave it all behind
    Incremental changes
    An incidental high

    What it all comes down to
    Is what you think you’ll see?
    But the world’s up high and
    It breaks my heart

    Justify your faith in me
    Does it give you what you need?
    Every time, every place
    Every moment of grace
    I’m cynical I rise to the pinnacle
    Bring it to your knees

    Sentimental phases, we leave it all behind
    Incremental changes, incidental highs
    What it all comes down to
    Is what you think you see?
    But we’re worlds apart, and it breaks my heart like an enemy

    Like an enemy

    But the world’s up high and
    It breaks my heart

    Like an enemy.....

      Interesting image - an alternative title might be "divorce".

      Hey this is great!! Ace focus and composition :)
      Was it tricky to get the focus on you whilst putting it on self-timer?

      This is awesome. I find something really appealing about it all. The focus, and the light are fab.

      You have become my new go-to person for music.

    6. r3tta (54 months ago | reply)

      Thanks. Yes divorce would be a likely outcome in this situation
      Thanks much! It was a little tricky but basically I stood in a marked spot while John focused my position then he went to his position and I framed it and then hit timer and ran to my spot and struck a pose.
      Thanks Emma! I had a specific light in mind when I set it up and I was pleased with the outcome. I'm glad you like!
      That is the best compliment! I love listening to music, sharing music, everything music so, if you want any music you see here, just let me know :)

      I want to hear this album of which you are raving.................

      And I don't even care that this is contrasted. I fave. I love your pose. Very expressive in a thoughtful, distracted sort of way.

      Awwww thanks April! That would be the coolest!
      I will see what I can do about that. Thanks for the Fave and the nice words! I was going for a thoughtful, sad expression so yay.
      Well you know, "Sentimental phases, we leave it all behind"

      A beautiful portrait, attercat. I love the beautiful blue/grey lighting and how the sun is lighting up your face and hair. What is also so interesting, particularly after reading the words of the song, is that your wedding/engagement ring is very noticeable. These are the little things which make up a great story portrait- which allow the viewer to use our imagnination..well done Attercat

      p.s. thought of you and your red hair when I was taking shots of Elizabeth :)

    15. jen wade (54 months ago | reply)

      love this shot! love the light in your hair and love the hubby bokeh!

    16. r3tta (54 months ago | reply)

      Thanks Messy! I'm enjoying the story telling aspect of the 52 weeks of music. It does make me think differently about what I'm photographing. I loved Elizabeth's hair too! Cut and all.
      Thank you Jen. John was a jewel for playing along :)

      I'm not sure I would be comfortable playing the role of "enemy" in a picture being taken by my wife.

      Hope you guys are just playing roles.

    23. r3tta (53 months ago | reply)

      Ha! We are just playing. He is a pretty good sport about these things.
