Waiting III

O – thank you very much!
K xx

Wow – big thanks Helene – I’m kind of breaking new ground for myself with these images, so I’m very happy to hear that the result appears to be worthwhile :)))
K xx

Thanks Helen! I like it that you refer to ‘me’ in the image (well – yes – it IS ‘me’ in the original photo lol)... though I think if you took this one at face value you’d never recognise me in the street from it LOL ;)))
K xx

thank you so much T SOUL – as I mentioned above – they are a slightly new direction for me – Im very glad you like them :)))
K xx

Thank you my friend – what a powerful comment!
K xx

Thanks! I just love blur and / or soft focus too :)))
K xx

Thank you for saying that – I think that is what I’m reaching for… the sense of fear – but I know that without the sensuality and maybe vulnerability (?) it won’t connect with the viewer on it’s own… So – seems like I’m moving in a direction that ‘works’ for what I want to achieve and convey
K xx

Thank you Matt – and there may very well be a couple of faces there… I didn’t consciously ‘put’ them there… but things just ‘happen’ in this kind of image…
K xx

Thank you very much! I am very pleased by your comment – composition is something I do work hard at (not according to any ‘rules’ though lol)...
K xx

Thank you so much Angel! I’m very happy you like this – this series is a slightly new ‘reaching out’ for me :)))
K xx

Thank you so much my friend – I just put this one up an hour or 2 ago… That place is one we all struggle to find – some more than others – I sense that if it can be found then then we and the synchronicity and the connection of the flow will become one…
K xx

:)

Thank you very much for your thoughtful comment erich… I feel this place is one many of us may know, but not so many are willing to admit to ourselves that we do…
K xx

What a truly wonderful comment Sarah! I thank you greatly… I’m still relatively new to this amazing journey of discovery that photography is taking me on, and to receive comments like yours gives me faith that I am moving in a direction with my creativity that is worthwhile
K xx

O thanks so much Sarah! You are too kind! As for being a ‘natural’ – I first tried to get into photography around 25 yrs ago, but too much messy life got in the way. Now – I’ve had to learn a lot of things about life and feelings and what it takes to be ‘human’ the hard way – and I feel as though that is what I try to express through my art. I’m just a ‘visual’ kind of person – I sense feelings, and I kind of ‘see’ in my mind what they look like… The concept grounding most of this work is that of child abuse – it’s effects and consequences. And – I hope through my work to be able to bring this far too common and far too hidden issue more out into the open – as only then will anything be able to be done to help…
K xx

thanks lots friend – did you read my bmail re this image yet? And what do you think?
K xx

Thank you so much my friend! Your support has helped lots :)))
K xx

Thank you so much jacqleen! It seems I’m doing something right :)))
K xx

Enormous thanks for all your support J! You have given me confidence that the direction I’m moving in is worth it at the moments when I have doubted my capabilities the most! I appreciate that more than words can say!
K xx

Thank you so much Keith :)))
K xx

Thank you so much Ingrid – what a wonderful comment! Just don’t tell you family lol ;)))

Thank you very very much annamora!
K xx

Thank you for your wonderfully powerful story Tracey – for me I think it tells me that maybe I am beginning to be able to create what I aim to…
I also grew up with ‘abuse’, and I have worked with it and studied it as an adult for many years… for me the grounding and concept behind pretty much all my work is that of ‘child abuse’ and it’s terrible hurt and effects… but I try to capture a sense of the feelings and concept of the experience and it’s consequences – not portray it blatantly. Your story and response to this image tells me that this image maybe actually succeeds in this aim…
Thank you so much Tracey
K xx

O Angela – thank you!!!!! What an honour – and I am so so pleased to receive such recognition for one of these images which are such an enormous artistic step for me! Thank you again :)))
K xxx

Thank you – though I don’t know if it’s really good that it ‘sucks you in’ (?) I AM very glad you you really like it though… I feel like I’ve come quite a long way (in both my art and as ‘me’ in myself) while you’ve been away for the summer my friend
K xx

Thank you Ove! It is so good to have you back (and maybe Roy too soon?) – Red Bubble has been good to me – so many people have been willing and able to help me learn :)))
K xx

Thanks so much Tania! I think I’m getting a little ‘looser’ in my expression lol – glad you like it ;)))
K xx

I appreciate your comment greatly – thank you very much :)))
K xx

thank you so much Gasper!
K xx

Thank you so much for the honour Erika! That’s brilliant – you have such an amazingly talented group of artists in this group that it’s extremely special to be recognised amongst them all :)))
K xx

Thank you so much Evita! This was one of those very special pieces that just ‘comes together’ so easily…. and ‘works’... :)))
K xx

Thank you very much! ‘Weird’ is about the biggest compliment in my language ;)))
K xx

Thank you RonnieGinnever! I hope it conveys some kind of sense of ‘being – or not’... here – or there… or not… :)))
K xx

Thank you again RonnieGinniver… that is the kind of sense I was trying to create – so it’s really great to hear that I seem to have ‘got it’ :)))
K xx

Thank you! That’s a really cool description – can I quote you on that lol ?
K xx

Thanks ;)))

Thank you so much micklyn! I’m really humbled by your wonderful comment :)))
K xx

Thank you so much Cora – I admit – this time I was reasonably pleased (for once) with how this turned out… :)))

Thank you so much Trish – ‘feeling and a sense of emotion’ is what I try for, so it’s really good to hear that my work does manage to convey that :)))
K xx

Apologies for such a slow response DaRkSiLeNcE – thanks so much for your wonderful comment!
K xx

Thanks so much – I’m happy to see you’ve picked this image – it ‘worked’ in a special kind of way for me too :)))
K xx

Again – you’ve picked the one I think works best too… This one’s going up on a gallery wall in Nov – printed on silver rag mounted on di-bond… Have to admit I’m looking forward to seeing it there… :)
K x

Thank you! I haven’t seen it back from being mounted yet, and got to admit, I’m pretty keen… ;)
