first: i am now addicted to your commentaries and so look forward to them on my images as well as what you have to say on everyone else's. you have a first-class imagination and wit that is unsurpassed by anyone i know. second: 'the face looks young,' you say!!! bless your heart! i was 53 when i took this self, (now 55.)
okay - what i was trying to show here was a surreal thought that i had that all of our sorrow is somehow connected; how we are all crying the same tears, etc. it was a quick, simple thought but it moved me enough to try to get the idea into an image. the line across the face is supposed to be the tears that come to my eyes and then flow out my window and onto somebody else. as i stated at epz, i might work on this one some more. perhaps, it isn't finished and that's why my aim isn't clear here. not sure yet. =)
thank goodness your mind takes its own way because i thoroughly enjoy the journey. thank you, pk. =)
well the level of puzzle is increasing.. and this is very tough.. and no one can reach what you have thought.. but i will have my own (my habit)..
the wrinkle line that passes beneath the eye is a very bright thought though it does not have to do anything with the subject of the image.. it just breaks the possibility of simplicity that one might assumes, and quite effectively.. it speaks a ton about your craft.. i dont know whats shining extreme right of the image, but that does compel one to come and concentrate straight at the face.. but it certainly makes an effect that the face is being projected from it.. length of the image is greater than the width, which is also a very bright idea, as it does not confines thoughts but encourages to be free to think (which is good for me).. the image is blurred and dissolving which enhances curiosity , at the same time subtlety..
coming to the face.. its only lips and eyes.. its expressionless and looking at a distance unfocussed.. certainly looks consumed by memories of past.. i think (am sure), despite the title 'borrowed tears', these were about happy memories of past, which now has long gone and impossible to achieve.. what lays ahead is an age long journey of painful remembrance.. the face looks young which enhances the pain in the viewer.. had it been old it would have been taken for granted and the image would have been forgotten..
If your intention is that the face is tear itself (i think its not).. it does not work for me..
Your troglo.. image was the most appealing and touching image (to me).. this one is the greatest example of your craft..
Maybe whatever i said is all rubbish.. but as i said my mind takes its own way..
