the question (252/365)

    ...only seems backwards.

    i feel like sometimes i should be walking around with a big scarlet letter-type emblem on my chest. (a question mark, in this case). my mind lives in reality, but my heart and hopes are in dream land. sometimes i feel like i barely gain consciousness. which may tribute to my ongoing bad memory. i'm not senile! i just don't remember the things that should be important. my mind dumps them into the "forget this" bin. and so then i'm left wondering. a big question mark on my chest...

    this is all rambling.

    this week looks hectic on my schedule.

    Blog for more.

      I feel just the same way. And I think this photo illustrates it beautifully.

      I'm exactly the same. Especially when it comes to the "forget this" bin. :D I don't think all people get it. There are so many people who are so realistic and belive only things they see and things that have been proven to exist. They don't understand a person who drifts in and out of their dream world and actually wants to keep that as a part of their life.

      And so do I... :)
      Katie, did I say before how gorgeous your hair looks in all pictures? Your processing is fabulous, I always have this feeling of softness and dreaming with your colors, tones, textures and lighting — especially. You seem to be a calm woman, full of good feelings and definitely dreams — in that way of good sleep and magical images, with a bit of confusion and delusion...
      Definitely, you're poetry.

      I think you have a lot of talent, but you should go out and shoot the world. A camera is window and also a mirror, we can see you deeply even if you are not in front of the lens.

      With all my respect,
      Julien.

    20. marandafreye (51 months ago | reply)

      simple yet satisfying.

    21. Katherine Elizabeth (51 months ago | reply)

      julienpz: appreciate that! but this is a 365 project. so its a requirement (and my own) that i be in front of the lens for 365 days. sorry! =p

    22. M. Hasan (51 months ago | reply)

      Gorgeous!
      Excellent tone, light and mood...
      Love the portrait!

      i know how you feel. i definitely like the fact that you decided to leave the question mark backwards

    24. through-pan*flashing (51 months ago | reply)

      Such a beautiful photo both in composition and tone and in how you present yourself. I have been feeling the same way a lot lately. I hope we both find some clarity.

    25. valerie chiang (51 months ago | reply)

      i love all of your editing.

    26. ĐāżŦ {mostly absent} (51 months ago | reply)

      I haven't commented on your stream for a while but I try to visit it daily and just wanted to say how amazing it is. And I relate to this like you wouldn't believe!

    27. Dear Dakota, (51 months ago | reply)
