Ever had that feeling of absence?
-
there is something eerie about staring down through / the remains of rooms where the flooring has collapsed. / it goes beyond the mortal fear of falling and death, / beyond the realization that there but for the grace of god go i. / maybe there is some inate sense that this is not something that is or should be possible. / it is like staring through holes torn in the fabric of different dimensions / and it throws off your balance and perspective, leaving everything askew. / splintered shards of boards jut off at illogical angles, / heavy radiators dangle from pipes like rusted fruit on steel vines, / and doorways swing outward into cavernous voids. / people once walked, talked, worked, and slept / along these planes now almost entirely inaccessable to man. / distant portals open to rooms and wards whose secrets will remain hidden / until they are erased by decay, by fire, by the wrecking ball. / there is always this pervasive sense that these are the areas where the answers lie, / that if one only pushes a little harder, takes a few more risks / this search for who knows what will produce some tangible results / and this consuming drive well somehow be rewarded with / reprieve, release, redemption. / this is the nature of my obsession. when you look at me, / you should see not what lies before you / my physical shell, a fragmented collection of skin and bones and blood. / you should see the conspicuous absence of what i was, what i could be, / of my very spirit, which has divorced itself from my corporeal form. / i once walked and talked, worked and slept along planes / now almost entirely inaccessable to man. / even now as we speak i am drifting somewhere, restless / stuck in limbo, in the space between floors. / -—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-— more available at my (recently updated) site, www.abandonedamerica.org / photo taken at algonquin state hospital / all rights reserved. may not be reproduced without permission.

I was in a meeting with clients the other day and it occurred to me if I was wearing this t-shirt it would have explained a lot about my input. Perfect for those times when you need your clothing to speak for you.

My Absence

Ok guys, I am not gonna be about for a while on & off, maybe pop on here every so often. / I only logged on today quickly & found 28 mails, all from groups, which I honestly dont feel like getting involved in right now. / This is all due to the increasing pain I have in my shoulder & sitting on here for hours does not help me at the moment. / I almost broke my arm a year ago, by running & landing on it & flat on my face, I was very lucky not to break it…. but i have still suffered with it & recently the pain has grown alot more worse, and I will need to get professional help with it, as my arm has weakened. / I wanted to go out saturday night but due to the pain, was not able to move without flinching so that killed my plans completely. / I suffered with lower back pain for 4 years, a few years back due to a torn ligament and that took years to recover from. / So guys if you dont see me commenting, or here very often you will atleast know why, its for no other reason except the total discomfort, and niggly pains that I am feeling everyday with the shoulder. / Sometimes you just have to rest, and not push your body so hard, and this is one of those times. / All the Best / tina

Bit off more than I can chew...

Story of my life.. I know I have written things like this before, but before I go disappearing on everyone I felt I should give an explanation. / Once again I have bit off more than I can chew. I began three online classes today for photography, plus a ton of editing and photography work ahead of me. Let us not forget the everyday challenges of being a mother of two year old. Honestly, I probably have way less on my plate than the average individual. I am honest with myself though and know that I have terrible time management skills and I am freaking out about how I am going to get everything done. In reality it is not as “dramatic” as I am making it out to be. / However in light of everything… I will be almost non-existant here. I considered closing my account.. but I think that would be wrong of me since I have a couple of groups going.. one very new and fresh. / Anyway.. just thought I would share. / Lexie

Just signed in and seen I had a sale, Many thanks to Trudie”:http://www.redbubble.com/people/handprintz This brightened my day somewhat after hearing of my brother’s passing this morning. He was only 50 and a tad younger than I. Far too young to leave us. Please excuse my absence for a bit

Sorry I’ve been kinda AWOL, I’m not deliberately ignoring anyone (including the poor people who bubblemailed me). Just really really busy right now and hope I can get some good bubble time in soon. Plus I really MUST clean my computer up before I take more photos! For those who didn’t see my answer in my last journal, my puppy WAS born and he’ll be coming home on 30 December :)

Hi all out there in RB land… I have been having such trouble keeping connected with my internet dial up so I havent been able to upload or comment much lately … I have just given my computer a thorough clean out taking all my photos off the hard drive and also getting rid of anything not used for over six months … I then gave the computer a good defraging and well I hope that is what has fixed the problem will see if it works that way tomorrow so hopefully will be seeing a bit more of me from now on … have been doing a photoshop course at the local tafe and am learning all sorts of ways to fix photos so hopefully some of those archived dont know what to do with shots will make it onto hear will try and add to the description what I did to fix them and if anyone can explain to me how you add a photo that is not uploaded into your description I will do a before and after shot… stay tuned catch up with you all real soon fingers crossed xx / coralie P.s.. thankyou to all that have visited my portfollio while I have been silent
