I always wonder what people think when they look at certain images, so I though it would be interesting to put up three pictures that I took recently and request the world out there to tell me what comes to mind when they see them. It could be one word, it could be a sentence, but please do let me know. Incidentally these pictures were manipulated some in Photoshop CS and I’m going to print them up, matt them and present them to my mom as a peace offering for my irresponsibility over the last few months/year. So if they do happen to evoke emotions or actions like ‘hit’ or ‘throw frying pan at progeny’ let me know!
- Steal my sunshine
This image has a dynamism that brings to mind fun afternoons at the beach with the outstretched arm and the sun beams underneath the girl’s elbow.
- Silhouetted Girl
This to me is kind of a cliché image, but there is almost a sense of relief that the girl is eclipsing the sunlight. I also like the dynamism in her blown up hair.
- Dreaming in the Sunset
So this image brings to mind quietness and peace and a sort of brooding, because the girl herself is not very clear in the image.
So those are my rather poor attempts at describing some of my images and why I like them, go ahead my dear readers and please, do feel free to be as harsh as you want.
They are lovely. I have no critisicm in me today, but even if I did I’d still think they are lovely

No critisisms at all, very pretty. I am quite rubbish at actually describing artsy stuff though. For some inexplicable reason I like the top one the best. Don’t ask me why I don’t know.

They’re great to give as a gift.
But one thing to keep in mind, despite how beautiful they are, if your mom doesn’t like the lady that’s featured in them in real life, I’d say you’re kinda fubared

Mmh..quite honestly, only the first pic “spoke” to me and I love the combination and the subtleties of that pic: At first glance, there are two black silhouettes, the lady and the roof bit, and lots of open space. On second glance, sunrays on the lady’s elbow!..so the sun MUST be out there somewhere..On third glance, most of the sky on the pic is of the glow of the sun..you just have to look hard enough to see it
Not sure if that makes any sense to you though!

Venus & SC – Thanks!
Darwin – that seems a popular choice…and inexplicable is always good
Rastiadu – just laughing at the description of her as a lady…hehe…mother dearest doesn’t know who she is.
Savi3- eh…maybe the last one…first one is too dynamic and the second is too ‘harsh’
Manshark – thanks for that! You actually looked thrice…that I’m happy about!
and thank you for the descriptions!
