    It’s a little on the spooky side, but fantastic expression! Did you shoot this in a graveyard?

  • Laurie Search replied

    Thank you, Joerg!!! No…I actually took the picture of me in my backyard….the background here is a picture I took in San Francisco on a very misty, foggy day…and I also added a shadowy figure in the back there, which was from another image I took…:) Hope I didn’t scare you too much!! :)

    I like your introspective work Laurie…......it has integrity….most important in life as in art!...Thanks.

  • Laurie Search replied

    Thank you so much, Graham….This introspective work is like therapy for me, I think, lol….:) I truly appreciate your kind words. :)

  • Graham Povey

    Your sensitivity is testimony to your concious awareness when surrounded by people going all out to subdue their own…....drink, drugs, noise, perhaps over indulgency in a personality ethic, rather than a character based one….Appeasing the ego?..... You say “therapy”....... I say, is not creativity an act of healing in itself?
    Is not art a manifestation of truth?.....And truth, no matter how painful it can sometimes be, is necessary before real healing can begin…....In that sense all art is therapy!....(My own art has come to take priority since a recent bout of stress and depression, and my ex partner can be quoted as stating in her profile; “My art keeps me sane”) There has often been a hairs breadth between insanity and artistic genius hey!......Not that I’m suggesting you’re crazy Laurie!......but definitely very talented.

  • Laurie Search replied

    Hello Graham….yes, definitely, I do believe that all art is, or can be, therapy….For me, doing any kind of photography is therapeutic, but doing the self portraits is even more so…..I think it might have something to do with my lifelong feelings of nobody truly understanding me…..I just have this need to try to show myself…I’m so sorry about your difficult times, but I’m also so glad that you have your art to help you through them…In the past three years, with many big changes and trials in my life, I’ve felt like photography has really kept me sane, too. Or….hmmm….maybe halfway sane…:) Thank you so very much for your extremely kind words!!!!! :)

  • Graham Povey

    Graham Povey

    I empathise totally with not being understood Laurie!.......It can be extremely painful when it happens with the ones you love and put your trust and belief in….But we are who we are regardless, and we should seek no ones approval, nor do we need to justify ourselves to anyone but ourselves!.......Life is for living and experiencing, and it’s an ultimately very singular and personal journey I feel.

  • Laurie Search replied

    Unfortunately, I have yet to come to the point where I don’t seek the approval of others, lol….In fact, I seem to desperately need it….It’s something I still am working on. :)

  • Graham Povey

    Just as an amusing aside, I was once told by a Massai warrior in Kenya, after I had parachuted into the Don Don Mountains, that I was “Touched by God”....... The Arabs say if you are ‘touched by Allah’, you are mad…...but also blessed!

  • Laurie Search replied

    LOL, thank you for sharing this….very interesting…:)

  • Graham Povey

    Graham Povey

    You will get there Laurie…it takes time…..but you’re a true ‘Warrior of light’ as Paulo Coelho calls those of us who are searching for truth in life…......I am into my own Autumn now, yet am still learning….... until very recently, I also was very much an approval seeker!......

  • Laurie Search replied

    Thank you so much for these words, Graham. :)
