Cold

amazing play of lights.

I love the way just her outline is lit up.

another great photo.

Right now someone you love is cold.(quoted). N.

the scream of reality. the total loss of freedom. the loss of what we know of as life.
inner scream.

MacMurphy, where are you??

Damn, Candice, you really do have claws.`

She's faceless! God that's so creepy. LOL did you guys run into any other people that day? You'd scare the holy hell out of someone if they saw her walking around upstairs though the wards and they didn't know it was a photo shoot! :D

wow... she looks positively angellic

Fantastic!

New favorite (I'm so hopeless).

The lighting, her pose. Just so cool!

oh wow...
This reminds me of the darker times in my life...the only difference is I wasn't wearing wings...okay, or a dress either.
Sometimes things happen in your life that you don't have any control over and it can make you feel so helpless and all alone. I've only felt that certain darkness a few times, but when I was there, it made me feel like I was boarding an empty train where I am forever its only passenger. A train that runs only in the dead of night when you're trying to sleep and you just can't shut your mind off. My veins had turned into the icy tracks that it ran on. Memories that my mind couldn't stop, were what gave it it's terrifing speed. The coldness that settles in the chest is unbearable and feels like someone has shattered an ice cold glass of water above your heart. This cold black train is filled with all my unclaimed baggage that I keep trying to leave behind me at the last stop, but because my ticket is a round trip, it always keeps finding me.
This is a far cry from the Polar Express.
This is the Hell express....no lines...no waiting.
But...even though I wasn't wearing white wings and a dress physically, I was always wearing them spiritually, and that is what pulled me through those dark times and into this light.
A very powerful picture for me.
Motts, your photographs have a way of effecting the soul, and some bring comfort very much the way a special song or memory can.
I wish you would do a book!!!!

Ladyhawke, I am struck by your amazing way with words. Very, very heart-wrenching. You should be an author.

Thank you, Nancy for the kind words. : )
Every one of us feels pain and goes through our own trials in life.
For me personally, I learned that writing stories or poetry can sometimes ease that pain as well as honor happier times.
Had Motts not titled this one, "Cold", I don't know if it would have triggered my memory of this emotion.
That's why I enjoy seeing what Motts names his photos, and then lets them out into the world, and the rest of us can take it from there.
We all see his photos in a different light, because we all have lived such different lives.
I see an angel who looks like she's been to hell and back.
Her gown is stained and torn.
How did that happen to her?
What led her on her journey that brought her here?
But still...there is something about the emotions on her face that portray a fighter. Who will not give up. She has to look inward to survive this hell.
Through all this I can see she has a glimmer of hope.
She reminds me of the saying,
"If you're going through Hell...keep going!"

This is by far my favorite of the gallery. I really appreciate this series after several viewings. Great job Motts, Candace and Dash.

She really creaps me out!.. I don't now if I will be able to go to bed tonight! :-)
