Description
Now you don't see love anymoreYou've waited all your life
For the pain to go away
And now the cycle is complete
Tears are not falling anymore
You despise the ones that need love
You have learned the secret to survive
And now the cycle is complete
You are living inside a world of hate
But what you really hate, is your life.

really heartbreaking though

Ugh! *hurt*
That's so... final.
But I think it's the, who knows?, inevitable result for overpowering hurt. To be incapable of love.

wow.
i dotn know which is more powerful, the statement in your comments or the actual picture.
they are both so stark and striking, it really takes the breath out of you.
its not that you do a whole new form of art, you just revolutionise it. lol. that might be a little much, but damn, are you good at what you do.
another beautiful piece.

why is she hitting her bear?
i dont' know the story behind this shot, but whatta fantastic composition...the sheer simple aesthetic yet lifeless quality of the wall juxtaposed against the dynamics of a human being's emotions. i'm dying to see more of what goes on in the corner of that room...

Read somewhere that the poem doesn't fit the image... NOPE! I think it fits perfectly and it really made me give some pause to observe a little bit the whereabouts of my life.
Truly impressive perspective on that shot, btw!
PS: Is that your home?

The shot is a four out of 5; why not a 5? That heavy-handed (rushed?) treatment of the "white drain/vent" mid, right--should it be grayed given the shadow throw of the windows?
Don't pull back, this is an encouraging message, an attempt to push your focus past the lens. (Very, very few works get a 4.)
The photo is very good work, it's those damn details I'm encouraging your attentions towards; the stuff they can pick you apart on when you're going at galleries and they're trying to cut you take.
The poem is not bad, certainly, as I'm sure you know, not great; an after thought to "fill" the space? The photo is "alone," "watched," "haunted," "Big Brother," the poem, though promising, doesn't fit to the photo. Do both, photography and poetry, fine, but when doing both consider: first, shoot the visual, then come back on the poem. But, first, look at the photo, what is the audience (not you) going to see; think in simple terms, dark/light, happy/sad, alone/together, set the subject your poem based on these accessments of the visual (not that unrelated piece you worked up last week, month, year?) into a fit on the visual.
This is not easy, but, given this very promising photo, and the ill-fitting though nearly well-written poem, I believe you can do this.
An idea: The work is done, you like it, it feels right. Fine. Put it away for 3 days, yes, an entire 72 hours. I know, I know, but go with the idea. Then, day four, review, and final-final fixes, those last touches. Instead of releasing on Monday, Thursday. End of the world?
It's the work that matters, the work that your name is on. Don't rush, rationalize stuff you know (and, you, know) is a jam-job to get the stuff out. The work must be whole, right, that surge on your skin that lets you know you hit it, that's what I'm pointing you at. Don't rush, do not rationalize not fixing those things you know need fixing. Wait, make it you.
The work at it's best is all that matters. The work, you: make it what you know it should be.
Keep going. Just a touch slower. You've got it, take the time to polish it.

PS. Watch Kubrick; where does he put the frame and what do you hear? The frame and its words.

First of all, I want to thank you for the detailed comment.
You took the time to give me a long and well thought of comment, and i appreciate it.
About the work itself,
The photo had some curves, and burn to achive a little "darker" look.
Is that bad? Why should the vent be grey? Does that interfear with the concept?
This is one of those photo (IMHO) where the concept and expression is much stronger than the techniqual stuff. All the tech should be in a level it doesn't bother the viewer to "get it", and not be more than that.
About the poem.
I disagree with you.
You said i shoulf write the poem to fit what the viewr sees, and not what i see... why?
I know what i want of this, what i feel. Why should i pretend to know what other see in it, feel from it.
I'm only true to my work when i ignore what others might think, and am true to what i feel.
The song is based on the mood, "state of mind".
What brings a little boy to be violent to his little teddy.
when is the time that hurting the teddy seems to be ok for him.
This sets the mood in my opinion and complement the photo (again, for me).
The tip about taking the time is a little far fetched in my case.
I've waited much more than that for most times.
I'm not of those who rush to upload every little shot they have done.
My gallery is filled with over 200 photos. most of them were uploaded weeks after being shot.
Not because they were not got, and time made them better, but because i wanted to be sure they were good enough to be submitted. That i was sure they represented what i wanted them to.
I think the comments to this work shows people felt it. The time you suggested was not needed.
I been photographing for a few years now, and i know that many just submit too much work, that it's hard to see the great work in all the others. I belive i don't have the same trouble.
Again, thank you for the critique.

Sorry to take so long to get back to you, there have been, well, interruptions.
You asked "is it bad" that your photo had some "darker" curves; no, art is never bad. But, as I recall, yes, a lighter touch may have been more informative; this is a basic "see-your-art-better" suggestion. Of course, given the mood of a moment when you're working, yes, but, as one trying to encourage the very best from obvious talent coming up, yes, "let me see more" is probably what was trying to be encouraged.
You wrote: "You said I should write the poem to fit what the viewer sees, and not what I see... why?" Why? Because, if there are no viewers there is no art: what is the sound of a poem falling in a empty forest? Yes, there is a point-of-view which says, in effect, "screw the pagans, do what you will." Fine, then look in the mirror and be happy. Again, if there are no viewers there is no art.
Perhaps I misjudged your worked has "being rushed" because, as I slow viewer, there was no way into your work so I could catch up(?)
Remember, the audience is never bad. Being rejected, sworn at, spit at (as some of us have), is part of the burden--you want to do art, then do the rest. Yet, again, the only alternative, even for someone at your level, is, no audience, then it's the mirror.

I don't try to fit to my audience.
I just put myself out there, and believe the right audience for me, will follow.
It's not like I'm forcing myself. Most of the people that saw this liked what they saw, and felt what I was going for. It could be that you are not the audience for this one, but that doesn't mean I missed something. Right?
I use the words to express some kind of a synergy with the Image.
It doesn't always "tells" what the image is about. Sometimes it tells something that if you add to the image, completes a whole, something new.
Anyway, I want to thank you for getting back to me, and taking the time to critique and being so detailed in your thoughts. I appreciate it very much.

Yes, perhaps I'm not the audience for that particular piece.

Wow...this is very neat. The angle is AMAZING! And the shadows are set just right so it creates a perfect image! The little girl is placed in just the right place and it is so neat. The title really sets a kind of idea of what's going on. I really like this. Favorite!
