Lensbaby 3G Selective Focus SLR Lens with Lensbaby 37mm +10 Macro Lens
Life’s an awfully lonesome affair. You come into the world alone and you go out of the world alone yet it seems to me you are more alone while living than even going and coming.
Emily Carr said that
Splendid selective focus at the heart of this flower! Beautiful tones as well in this B&W composition.
that quote makes me sad.
you are pulled from the womb by a doctor or midwife, immediately swaddled and handed to your mother.
how less alone could you be?
if you are lucky, you have a spouse or a child by your side when you die; yes alone in the final second, but loved.
In between?
alone and together, but both are to some extent, states of mind as much as physical/mental realities.
I totally agree with that quote. More so even now. A beautiful image in black and white. The flower is lovely!
The superbly talented Emily Carr. She spent time near where I live.
I can really understand that she felt alone. Her early family life did lack love.
Nice soft unfolding, Not sure about that quote though. If you are lonely all the time how can you make a comparison? 🙂
Flower pictures in b&w don’t always work but this one does for me.
The quote is a depressing outlook on life
I disagree with this qoute.
You will be taken out of the womb by a doctor or together with your father, immediately swaddled and handed over to your mother. After 4 years at school together with friends and later when you work with colleagues
You are only in the last second of your life when things go wrong.
You have taken a beautiful photo, also beautifully soft monochrome.
I like the focus and the low light – it gives emphasis to the words. Friendship
it’s a good b&w macro of the heart of the flower Sherri….peter:)
A lovely, soft image!
Très jolie macro de cette fleur.
Sadly, Sherri, for hundreds/thousands of people right now, the going part has very much been “alone” during this pandemic. It’s enough to break one’s heart. Your image fits the sentiment perfectly. Going, going…gone.
beautiful, sad flower, it looks lonely 🙂
Superb photo .
what a lovely photo. And I love the monochrome.
Yes, poor Emily Carr I believe was a very very lonely person. It must be painful to feel that kind of loneliness. It always makes me sad to know when someone feels that way.
Beautifully alone. The use of selective focus and monochrome makes it into something special.
Amazin work, very well done images, stunnig
That quote felt appropriate before I got married … man was I in a dark place. Another awesome pic.
