I love this picture! Though a calmer gaze would work 'cause your eyes seem almost strained to look away from the camera.

I favourited this peice so long ago but still I come back to it and am just taken away by how artistically moving the lighting the figure and subject... just everything about this peice is wonderful.

dado24 [2005-03-05 00:08:03 +0000 UTC]

i think it's great, and the title too. composition is aweseome, but i think lights and shadows are defenitely the best. great idea.

This is extremely dark and brooding. Did you listen to Dream Theater's Train of Thought? That's what this photo reminds me of.

TheWritt [2005-03-04 23:34:20 +0000 UTC]

I think this peice is quite witty and philosophical. That perfect title, illusion of control, can definitely gave me a lot to think about, and as a poet i really respect the symbolism and thought put into the image. Thank you ~mechanizedeye. Congrats on the feature

Love the mood and minimalism here - it's a lovely picture. Especially clever that you managed to take a self portrait with the camera IN the picture too

Very slick tonality, dude. The camera almost seems more the puppetmaster than you. A very obsessive-mad-creator feel to it.

Nice. The commentary in the title is a good way to make a person think, and the symbolism is something I can identify with. And, on a deeper level, it amuses me to a degree. Well done.

RoseImmortal [2005-03-04 17:13:49 +0000 UTC]

This is a very fascinating photo. The expression on your face almost makes it look like you cannot (or are unwilling) to see. Perhaps the hope is that the camera can see for you...but perhaps it controls you instead...

Just rambling.

Thought-provoking piece!
