Description From childhood's hour I have not been
As others were; I have not seen
As others saw; I could not bring
My passions from a common spring.
From the same source I have not taken
My sorrow; I could not awaken
My heart to joy at the same tone;
And all I loved, I loved alone.
Then- in my childhood, in the dawn
Of a most stormy life- was drawn
From every depth of good and ill
The mystery which binds me still:
From the torrent, or the fountain,
From the red cliff of the mountain,
From the sun that round me rolled
In its autumn tint of gold,
From the lightning in the sky
As it passed me flying by,
From the thunder and the storm,
And the cloud that took the form
(When the rest of Heaven was blue)
Of a demon in my view.

[Edgar A. Poe's Alone (1830) ]

I'm still trying to survive without my camera hehehe. This image is based on stocks from [link]

This is really wonderful work and as my friend Ira said, this too is probably one of my favs in my whole gallery (well as soon as I finish here). It's so innocent and pure and your talent is very inspiring!

the title is both horrendous and yet it has a catchy irnoy to it. the photo speaks for itself however and could be called Bacon Bits for all I care.

Very good work- looks like a lot of people agree. It's very elegant but simple at the same time. I like the sun through the trees.

This is wonderful. You couldn't have done it better. Great "story feel" it has.. childhood, dust, sun, rays, the smell of grass. heat. innocence. Wonderful.

what new devilish definition of photography>digital darkroom / digitalart> hotomanipulation is prevalent in this moment of time? I've done nothing to these photos that with abit of patience couldnt be done in traditional wet darkroom. If for some reason stockphoto's doesnt belong in the photography section, I'll gladly move it to digital art, I just need a good definition of all these categories first, thank you.

dont know if you'll be able to get around to reading this comment or not... but i just wanted to ask, when you submit a piece of art like this, that makes such an impact on the deviant art society, such a wide impression to your viewers, how do YOU feel. Are you excited, or unsatisfied. Do you feel lucky, or feel its hard earned recognition? I'm just wondering, because i've been trying really hard to get just at least one of my photographs the kind of exposure and impact that your art has made on me and others. take care

raun In reply to throughMYeyes [2004-03-30 15:53:08 +0000 UTC]

I get around to read all comments, thats for sure! with the enourmous amount of comments on this deviation I just can't reply to all. Both your comments were really nice. You ask how I feel about my deviation getting so much attention. I feel great about it. With soo many deviations uploaded everyday, I'd be lying if I said I wasnt excited & proud of making it to the frontpage. Ofcourse I feel lucky too, because I know that getting the highest amount on 's on any particular day doesnt mean it was the best piece of work uploaded that day, if you know what I mean. I dont see why I should feel as you say 'unsatisfied' about it, but I've been embarassed about it a few times in the past, when I felt the quality didnt justify the attention..
I'm just happy so many people got to see my image. Its impossible to say what each one got from it, I just hope it was something good and useful.

You have taken us to a very magical place with this image. There is a lot to absorb. The fact that she is in wedding attire, the tree which appears to be dead ot at least not in bloom, and the heavenly sky. All of this questions me...Could this be the thoughts of someone near death reflecting on their life? Or perhaps wishing for a more simpler age of innosense. It can be dangerous to mix something like someone else's poetry into your own art, but I think you have pulled it off nicely. Whatever the meaning it remains a gorgeous place I will choose to visit again.
