something REAL

i was going through some of my favorite photographer's work last night and it made me crave photographing something real. i thought i might jump out of my skin if i couldn't snap something soon..... something human and something with emotion behind it. i didn't know how i was going to go about it but my heart was in a headlock.
how do you capture pain?
how do you evoke it?
i figured out a way and who knew that these photos would tell the story of my evening.
here goes a long photographic tale. i will say nothing more- let the pictures speak for themselves.......

really hold on

  1. these are beautiful but they make me want to just hug her... I certainly hope those aren't real tears... that 3rd from the bottom is excellent.

  3. I don't even have words to explain how cool these are. As I was looking through, I thought - this one is my favorite, but then I'd even better one, and then again. The last one just blew me away.
