Description "Love is not blind - it sees more, not less.
But because it sees more, it is willing to see less."
-Julian Weber Gordon


Christine is a very difficult character for me to relate to.
I always wonder what goes through her mind just before the kiss...

Full view, s'il vous plait.

Somehow, this is how I imagined Christine to be whenever Erik was shouting at her: so defeated, but yet...you know she MUST have loved him. The 25th anniversary edition of Phantom shows this moment perfectly when Sierra and Ramin and together and weeping, and I was like, "Whoa...she made the wrong choice!"

Beautiful. I love how you've put so much tension and energy into the Phantom even though he's out of focus and not the focus of the picture. Well done

Thank you for your comment!
The bridge is crossed, so stand and watch it burn, indeed.
I think he is the most vulnerable in this singular moment...
A moment of silence so tense, it could almost be heard.

I can go on and on when it come to discussing Erik's psyche in any given moment.
My, that man is so darn fascinating.

You have to wonder what goes through her mind right before the kiss.
Perhaps "everything and nothing", just like she said herself...

Thanks for your comment!

Well you have to wonder if anything ever goes through her mind

Wow, the poses are fantastic. The hopelessness and determination really mesh well in her face and blurring out Erik in the foreground was a great decision. Excellent job.

Thank you!
That's exactly what draws me to this moment; her progression of not only the despair to determination, but also a naive girl into a mature woman.
It really is a fine line she's walking...

Very cool, I like how she looks despairing yet almost angry...and the quote works very well too

Thank you for your comment!
She must be such a turmoil of overwhelming emotions at this moment.
Yet, instead of exploding, she puts everything in that one kiss.
I find it quite fascinating...

Thanks again.

Thank you!
In the stage production, you can only see her profile during this moment because of the way it's staged.
But I always wanted to "move the camera" so to speak, to see her full expression.
Since I can't really climb up on the stage to get a better view, this was the next best thing.

Thanks again!

Lovely! She looks so defeated. I love the gleaming ring on her finger, and the composition is spot-on.

I believe silence sometimes speak louder than any spoken words,
and thus love that little moment just before the kiss when she is gazing at his back.
It has so many layers to it, I always find it fascinating...

Thanks again.
