Artist's Comments

there are times in our life when you seem to wander through dark valleys. you long for a ray of light to guide you out of darkness. light that warms and comforts you. we go out having fun and drown our lives in alcohol and trifles. but after all those defeats there are moments showing us a warming ray of light means more than anything in the world. cause those are the moments that count in life ...

life is like a compulsive buying, problem is that we buy most of the time the wrong things

I asked natashalyonne to write some words: "i don't know what to say but.. it was worth the dirt exhaustion and uncomfortable poses. i hope garrit's as satisfied with the results as i am" I AM! More than 3 days she lived in a world of dust and shards and gave me always a charming smile. Beauty is power, a smile is its sword. She's really a wonderful person.

Each loving comment is for you. And you deserve hundreds. Thank you, natashalyonne!

technical: leica r9, 100 mm telephoto, iso 100, kodak elite chrome, scanned from dia, no editing

update: to avoid misunderstanding ->life is like a compulsive buying. The compulsive buying, symbolized by the shopping cart brings us time and (time) again to those places where a sunbeam more matters than articles of clothing from gucci, armani, etc. Hence the saying -> "life is like a compulsive buying, problem is that we buy most of the time the wrong things" In this moment, the person makes the right choice, she choose the light, an elementary requirement -> silence, safety and warmth. The person on the photo isn't the ware, she's the consumer in a life time compulsive buying.

Thank you natashalyonne for the remark :hug:

I agree, this is a very origional shot.. I like the effect of the light, it allows the image to become just that little bit more interesting.
Nice work. :)

beautiful thought provoking image. i love the beam of light. and it is true, most materialism/consumerism is just idealism incarnate ~ an attempt to pay money for what cannot even be purchased...

A Druid is a Seeker of Truth:
In all places
In all times,
In all ways.
As a Sacred Oak is true:
In its roots that reach deep into the Earth,
In its trunk that spans the Worlds,
In its branches that stretch to the Sky,
So is a Druid true

ist ja witzig, sich selbst zitieren im comment (g. pieper 04) :P ;)
irgendwie tendiert das bild hier in diesem kontext dazu, dass die frau hier als 'einkauf' gesehen wird. mit dem gedanken bin ich nicht einverstanden und so war es von meiner seite nicht gedacht. naja. ich kann die gedanken die leute zu bildern haben nicht beeinflussen. der titel trägt auch viel zu diesem kontext bei. also schwache willenlose (leblose) frau als ware. hmhm.
anyways :)

"girls can wear jeans and cut their hair short and wear shirts and boots 'cause it's ok to be a boy, for girls, it's like promotion. but for a boy, to look like a girl is degrading, because secretly you believe that being a girl is degrading"
