Description
Photography: The love of my short and irritatingly heterosexual lifeModels: Your host and ~simoneales
Art work: Well, I drew the monsters on Simon's back, ~lucyhotchin filled in the space between them with twirly goodness, ~scottish-gardeners did the work on my face and I think ~eckyducky and ~lucyhotchin did one of my hands each.
The monsters are actually an echo of the one's drawn on my jeans but you can't really see that.
~eckyducky and I were just indulging in a bit of mutual ego stroking and rambling about how much we liked this shoot. To date, it is one of my favourite concepts I have come up with and everything just fell into place so well that day. This is one of my favourite images from the day. I just love it so I thought I would let nostalgia take its course and post it.
I love this group of people such a lot.

This picture makes me feel warm. And reading the little story beneath makes me feel like making it was a really fun project, like you are all good friends and this is just what you do together. Maybe its the music I'm listening to, or the mood I'm it, but I feel like this picture is speaking to me. The close, comfortable feel of it. The warmth of the background and general setting. I feel like the drawings are a sort of expression, a symbol of the freedom of expression shared between you and man, who is himself a symbol for something greater. Its making me want to be a part of it all. Thank you for posting this. You made my day.
Please tell me if I got any of this right. And sorry if I missed the point!

Every interpretation is great! That's what art is: its the artist and the viewer making a piece together.
It was a very happy, comfortable group to work with. This is still probably my favourite photo that I've ever been involved in. It sort of sums up a lot of that part of my life with those people: it did feel a bit magic, surreal, sensual, loving and was fantastic to collaborate with incredibly talented, amazing artists/friends.

I like that definition. And thanks. I was just wondering if my interpretation was anywhere near your intended response for the piece. It sounds like some of it was, which makes me happy.

For the past ten minutes, I have been trying to describe the feeling I get when I look at this photo, but I can't. It's remarkable. The photo, I mean. Great job.

Wow, what a lovely shot. It's unique enough to be a commercial art, yet so....warm...that I could see it stuffed in a nice box together with letters and those little things...*goes on to insert a backstory xD*.
Beautifully executed, indeed x]
