I wasn’t happy with previous version – and so I reworked in aperture and psd I tried to evoke as much emotion as possible—thru colors and light. Note – I also changed the title from “Abandoned” to “Not Abandoned” because truly I know that I am never left entirely alone to endure these trials. The cross on the wall is known as the “Cross of San Damiano” – (google it for significance). / I was blessed to have prayed before the real one in Italy… what an experience. photographer: Michael McKinney / model: myself

Sometimes, you just have to deal with your past and move on….. Missing I step off the train / I’m walkin’ down your street again / And past your door / But you don’t live there anymore / It’s years since you’ve been there / And now you’ve disappeared somewhere / Like outer space / You’ve found some better place And I miss you / (Like the deserts miss the rain) / And I miss you / Oh / (Like the deserts miss the rain) Could you be dead? / You always were two steps ahead / Of ev’ryone / We’d walk behind while you would run / I look up at your house / And I can almost hear you shout, down to me / Where I always used to be And I miss you / (Like the deserts miss the rain) / And I miss you / (Like the deserts miss the rain) Back on the train / I ask why did I come again / Can I confess? / I’ve been hangin’ ‘round your old address / And the years have proved / To offer nothin’ since you moved / You’re long gone / But I can’t move on And I miss you / Oh-oh (Like the deserts miss the rain) / And I miss you, yeah / (Like the deserts miss the rain) And I miss you I step off the train / I’m walkin’ down your street again / Past your door / I guess you don’t live there anymore / It’s years since you’ve been there / And now you’ve disappeared somewhere / Like outer space / You’ve found some better place And I miss you / (Like the deserts miss the rain) / And I miss you, yeah / (Like the deserts miss the rain) / And I miss you, and I miss you / (Like the deserts miss the rain) / And I miss you, yeah / (Like the deserts miss the rain) Nothing But The Girl

Ecclesiastes 3:1-7: “To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.” All photos and textures used are mine, blended together with the use of layers and various filters and a whole lot of time in Photoshop.

I was very happy to capture Chantel in one of my daily poses. You can often catch me like this until I’m rudely interrupted by a three year old attacking me with a butt-hug. Clingy at that age, aren’t they :) www.cathleentarawhiti.co.nz Model - Chantel Goodin / MUA/hair stylist – Anna Bronlund / Robe supplied by / Cathleens Magical Wardrobe Featured in Buyers Club / Thank you.
