Description There is a Chinese proverb that goes "fall down seven times, get up eight"...I feel like I am on my 12th, but this time I am trying to stop mid-fall, before landing on my ass again.


Self-portrait for the week. Slight grain intentional.

.....I LOVE this type of photography you do,....is very creative and totally done with the left side of the brain ( .....I think ), which is the side that I live in,...but everyday I have to visit the right side for a little while anyways !
*cough*......( just to see if ...the 'realworld' is still there )
....the B&W tones and your composition are perfect !.......

12th? hehehe! you're goona get tired keeping score. just remember, as long as your 'get ups' are one more than your 'fall downs' youre doin' just fine! we all suck at the game of life!

really good composition on the image, the use of the human form is well executed and really provides a good chance to re-examine our form from a very unusual angle and pose. we really are 'gangly' creatures, arent we?! and those are some beautiful hands and feet!

excellent work, be proud!

i thought what ~adixion said while reading and watching the picture...funny.

even if you do self portraits they are something new with your creativity. thats rare, but it makes you to someone special. your work is not only very emotional, its always with a thought behind it, which everyone has had yet, but noone has spoken it out. your outstanding ideas are what makes you to one of my favourite persons here. thanks for sharing what you feel my dear.

The pose suits the idea very well.

I like the use of b&w here.

The contrast is good too to show the difference between falling and getting up again.

Interesting

That's an original concept. I really like it.

You work is increasingly interesting, increasingly beautiful. I love your work. I'll comment it more often.

Congrats.
