rebirth - a photo on Flickriver

rebirth

These last couple days have been hard for me, but also necessary and rewarding. I've learned a lot about myself by thinking more about my work, about what makes me happiest and what makes me feel most fulfilled. I felt really fortunate to have had an artistic eye-opening experience. First I was disappointed in my work, and then I asked myself why, and finally came to some conclusions that left me feeling better about my creative future. I wrote a blog post about it here.

This image is what I like to see in photography. It is a "part 2", if you will, of my photo titled "My Little Bluejay"...shot in the same spot that I was previously banned from this year. Had to sneak back though....it was wonderful. I wanted to use a bold color against the dark background...I wanted to create something that looked very monotoned all around that though, especially in the skin. The pose mimics the nature surrounding, as if she is giving herself to the tree that is swallowing her. I see sadness, but also strength...

She helped to push me further on this shoot, to challenge my initial pose and take it further. Thank you for that :)
