 Old time glamour, a face coming out from the shadow of the past into the light of the future with stars shining in her eyes.

 I was just playing around with faces, trying to keep loose but giving expression, so it could be anyone, because I like for people to feel things and most people only feel things when they can associate with them.

To me she feels so innocent, the artificial stars light up her face and she is mesmerized, but she is still in darkness, because the glamour and gaiety of what we see on the surface has mesmerized her imagination but yet to capture her soul.

It's the innocence.


Like Photography, other than for trendy reasons, because of the great detail and true to life depiction people can't associate much with them other than exactly what they are, whereas keeping loose and obscure, people can see past the form and start to feel the essence.

I'm torn with wanting to get better, more life life, and yes people, I, appreciate people with such skill, but it's not what I want to, nor what I feel I am supposed to put out there, so I get stuck in the middle of wanting to become masterful and yet retain the innocence, the very spirit that people can align with and dream and feel and imagine, to have something inspire and and make you feel so much that your spirit is larger than your body and glows with the magic that is the in between reality and stuff of your dreams.
