G'day *CHRIS*!

I spotted this in the WEYG Club and was immediatley amazed, appalled and attracted to this death mask-like imagery.
How you have done this is really immaterial as it is the total impact and abstract imagery which holds all the power.
The viewer can ponder and search their own souls for a meaning and whatever that meaning may be, it is very personal.
A great concept and extremely well translated.

Thank you Dennis. I sometimes think we would be better off without the senses that have been excluded here (maybe not the sense of smell but I think we would all benefit from having the others excluded sometimes)! Some people have TOO much to say and others do things that our eyes find appaling! If we were to just stop and listen, what would we hear I wonder? :-) #8700381

Hear no, Speak no, see no evil.

Interesting Chris.

I'm with Dennis. This is very deep and all the rest of what he said. I saw this one AFTER the other ones I commented on today BTW.

WOW, CHRIS!

BetterPhoto Websites: If you see an orange website link directly under the photographer's name, it's totally okay. It's not spam. The reason: BetterPhoto is the one that offers these personal photography websites. We are supporting our clients with those links.

Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.

I hear, I forget.
I see, I remember.
I do, I understand.
