Description
A late night flash back to a poem I read in school...Nobody heard him, the dead man,
But still he lay moaning:
I was much further out than you thought
And not waving but drowning.
Poor chap, he always loved larking
And now he's dead
It must have been too cold for him his heart gave way,
They said.
Oh, no no no, it was too cold always
(Still the dead one lay moaning)
I was much too far out all my life
And not waving but drowning.
- Stevie Smith.

this photo has a very cold feeling to it.. almost like ice. the hair on her face is so beautiful and it gives the photo a delicate essence.
very beautiful work.

Wow this peice makes me want to hold my breath. Makes me think of that spilt second before you get plunged under water...and everything changes. Both in a real world and metaphorical sense.

This is such a great image...It's mythic. Like from some fairy tale you heard as a kid but have now forgotten...
simply awsome....+fav
also...I notice from your gallery that you have friends who play with fire.... we should share stories....

Thanks for the nice comment...
And yup, I've got some firejugglers amongst my friends... so What have yours burned down yet?
Cheers, Cliff.

Well, last year at New Years we set our main lodge where we were staying at on fire....not that it was our fault (turned out to be the fault of bluejays stuffing acorns into the chimney space) Ironically we were the ones who put it out....
Then I did get my leg set on fire a year and half ago....not from performing, but just being a jackass....thankfully no scars... though I did have a huge burn for a couple of weeks that looked like a pizza colored map of Ireland.... It healed just before burning man, so all was well....
and your tales?

*lol*
Yeah along the same lines... Some friends managed to set our tent on fire once... and juggling with long hair is always a rather bad idea, especially if you've been drinking... but all in all no major disasters and everone is still juggling
Cheers, Cliff.

I really like this photo. First of all, it looks real. I can't tell if it is real - or if its manipulated. However, its really impressive - either way.
I like the tone. It's a greenish blue. On the desaturated side... its kinda a good mood for a photo like that. I can't imagine it being a darker blue or a brighter yellow. It would have a different feel.
I really like the eyes being shut. I think thats the best part.

Love it, perfectly suits the text (which is a poem I like very much). Might fav it next time I feel like drowning.

Ah yes, me too. I wonder where I know that poem from...maybe it was in one of our stupid school books?

Yup, it was a poem we did in school for me. Back then I didn't appreciate it as much as I do now...
It's by Stevie Smith:
Not Waving But Drowning
Nobody heard him, the dead man,
But still he lay moaning:
I was much further out than you thought
And not waving but drowning.
Poor chap, he always loved larking
And now he's dead
It must have been too cold for him his heart gave way,
They said.
Oh, no no no, it was too cold always
(Still the dead one lay moaning)
I was much too far out all my life
And not waving but drowning.

First off, nice work. My spin on the photo is that she isn't drowning, but being re-born.... Enjoyable none the less.
