Artist's Comments

Renae. Again. I hope you aren't getting tired of these--my goal was to make every picture as distinct as possible, so they didn't appear repetitive.

For those who want to know shoot details, we went to three different locations, and had very little time because the sun was setting (as seen in the first photo I posted). Hence why the lighting is different in nearly all of the pictures I took. You know how difficult it is to find nature living in a city? I have plenty more of ones like this, as well as more from the burned down house. A point I should make about the burned down house featured in the photos "Survivalism" and "The Anointed One": it was a SUPER creepy house to begin with. I'd actually been hoping to take photos there, one day. Nobody lived in it, and yet its porch light was constantly on. When we were driving around looking for another location, I thought of the house and was all, "Renae! Tally ho to the creepy house!" And that's when I noticed it burned down (Renae mentioned the fire department didn't even bother trying to save it because, again, nobody lived in it. For years.) and, lo and behold, even burned down it looked freaking creepy. If the thing isn't cleaned up before the next shoot with Renae, we'll be doing some more pictures at Creepy Burned Down House I'm Convinced Might Be Haunted. You know, for your viewing pleasure. And also, in case you haven't noticed, I have a fascination with things looking weird.

Lenses? Contacts, you mean? Nope--it's her natural eye color. But the one on the right looks different because if you notice, there's a light refraction there from the sun.

Oh yes, contacts (I was too lazy to look in the dictionary ^^';) of course. But the eyes are so intensive, awesome that it's her natural colour! And yeah, I wondered about the right eye, thanks for the explanation =) The refraction makes it really unique...

I feel like a hero and you are my heroine. I won't try to philosophize,
I'll just take a deep breath and I'll look in your eyes. This is how I feel.

I know you say you don't want critique, and I'm sorry, but I just think this is so awesome. You keep getting better and better and I didn't even think it was possible... This is stunning. I love the light.

:hug: Thank you. Usually when I put the "no critique option" on, it just means I'm not particularly interested in hearing stuff like "I would have liked the picture better with different lighting," or something like that--basically stuff which, prior to the shoot, aren't exactly fixable. But I appreciate comments like yours.
