Description
Fading everything to black and blue
You look a lot like you
Shatter in the blink of an eye
You keep sailing right on through
-Counting Crows
-----------------------------------------------
Since the weather refuses to lighten up, I am forced to produce a sombre-toned photograph. I hate the winter, just look at that dark veil of cloud...
I know I recently did an umbrella piece, and I know umbrellas are ridiculously over-used in conceptual photography. There is a reason for that though; umbrellas are awesome. There should be a stamp in support of umbrellas... (someone make one!)
Anyway, this is my brother modeling for me once again, as I apparently have no friends.
Photoshop for levels, channel mixing, dodging/burning, noise reduction and cropping.

Yes, umbrellas are overused, last summer I used four different ones in a month (I broke three of them...)
Awesome photo.
I like it

I tripped on my shoelace
And I fell up --
Up to the roof tops,
Up over the town,
Up past the tree tops,
Up over the mountains,
Up where the colors
Blend into the sounds.
But it got me so dizzy
When I looked around,
I got sick to my stomach
And I threw down.

A comment? Hmm...it's hard to explain why I love this photo. I think the very presence of an umbrella gives it immediate kudos, but I love the image; of freedom, unrestrained...or of falling; making an attempt at futile resistance but ultimately overwhelmed. Either way, its not held down...and that gives me a kind of happiness.
I've seen this idea used before, but this is much more convincing than most. I love your gallery :]

hehehe...
"Anyway, this is my brother modeling for me once again, as I apparently have no friends." that made me laugh...sometimes I feel like that...may have to drag them somewhere sometime when I'm taking photos
umbrellas are over used yes, but there are thousands of ways it can be used and this is one of them I love the stony quality to it, nice textures and lighting

wow cool, I actually really love how his legs are flying out, almost as if he was jumping, trusting the umbrella to catch him.
Really awesome

Beautiful.
The angle is very nice!
I love your brothers pose, and because you cannot see his face, it makes this picture make me want to keep staring at his arm; waiting for it to move and all! <3
Even dreary days can be beautiful - It shows here!

looks strange, but I really like it,
I appreciate and love your photographs because you make real work of it.
You jump and throw things in the air for your shots and it looks so nice!
I think photoshop is photomanipulation but think you use it just for the effect of the colors and write it under your submissions and thats okay =]
hihi I'm gonna watch you xD
