ballet:vacate - a photo on Flickriver

ballet:vacate

some writing about the painting that inspired this photo and "behind the scenes" on my blog.

I wanted to comment on this whole anonymous message thing that has been going around flickr and invading my contact's photos with text. I think that the idea is lovely, people sharing what they are too afraid to say with their name attached. I love the honesty coming out of people. But it also saddens me that we can't just say what we want to say, that we are so afraid to let others know. I had the urge to write in the box, but then I reconsidered. I thought I would just say it here. Why not? So, this is what I wanted to write to someone, anyone, anonymously:

"I'm scared that I won't be able to live up to the name I am trying to create"

So, if anyone wants to tell me something not anonymously - good, bad or ugly...I'm all ears.
