OMG, Lesa, this is incredible...what an emotional metaphor you have created, and managed to project. You hand, it really dramatizes the capture, along with the wonderful details and contrasts. This emanates such symbolism, the fear, the courage to face it, the ability to overcome it. Beautiful.

And, when this is a print, I am sure it will be a big seller, I for one, will be the first, after you.

I stare because you're all the same.

That looks soooo good.

i never would have guessed it, but the simplicity here is so perfectly fitting for the emotion. i think i've always figured fear to be a very complicated emotion... but this made me stop and realize that it is not really complicated at all. oh, and i'm loving what you did with that text.. so very b-movie-esque

as for fear... im not sure how to put my greatest fear into words in all honesty. it's something i have felt and been close to many times, and cannot seem to put a name to it. i know it's symptoms, but not it's source. i know it's not death, as i have been there before; it's not love, as i dont fear it... just can't readily accept/give it; lonliness feels close to accurate, and still so very far away. hmmm...

so yeah... this will be the thought that lulls me to sleep tonight i am sure. it's actually kinda odd... i was honestly thinking about my fears mere minutes before i walked in the room to check out DA... and looky what i found here! *twilight zone music*

nice work here... as i said... its all just so very fitting.

I understand and know that fear. It seems life is flowing past way too fast but I also think that when you find that one special person the fear greatens. Because it is a fear that some day one will die before the other and either way we will both be alone. (various religions + beliefs not taken into account and please, if anyone wants to argue this with me.. do it on my page so it doesn't clog up the fanged ones page) Even if there is such a thing as a life after death and we can be together it still won't happen right away. A 'What dreams may come' kind of thing.
It is the also the fear and knowledge that all of a sudden you are seen as 'mature' (yeah right!). I feel myself slipping into the confortable clothes already! Trying to fit this mind still happily in it's 20's into the body and state of a 30 something. Being expected to settle down.. buy a house. The body clock ticking loudy in my ear when I wish I could put it on hold for another 20 years.
And the fear that I will let the fear stop me from doing everything I ever wanted to do. I am still not the famous illustrator I thought I would be in the niavity of my degree years.
AND... that is a great part of the film/book. My thoery is that 'FEAR' is actually the cause of most of this worlds hurt. You fear another country...ok..lets bomb it. You fear that you won't have status so you do anything to get it......You fear your lover will stop loving you so you leave them first or you fear you have not found the right one yet. Fear you will be alone. Fear you will be ignored. Fear you will not meet others expectations. That you will not meet your own. The list is ENDLESS.
my kind of Mantra was the other one from the book/film. It goes something like....' Without change something sleeps inside us, and seldom awakens. The sleeper must awaken.' A reminder not to stagnate in comfortableness.
Anyway.... babble done.
