Vincent featured in Anger Management 17 Dec 09 Insane or Wired or Brilliant? Brilliant Plath disappeared in her Bell Jar / Intense Vincent Van Gogh was labelled insane / And when he cut off his ear they cried he had gone too far / They cut poor Frances Farmers emotion out of her brain / And made her placid benign boring and dull / Angelina was considered already dead / Vulnerable girl interrupted accused of a lull / Her hurt was cold but her blood was red. Insanity was thrown in my face at 17 / When the high school boys shouted / My favourite artist Van Gogh was insane… / ‘He is not’…I found my voice / ‘He is sensitive, passionate, intense, / misunderstood…and Don Mclean had / it right on that Starry Starry Night / He took his life as Lovers often do… / I could have told you Vincent this world / Was never meant for one as / Beautiful as you. Ah the eternal debate… / There is a fine line between / genius and insanity…they say / and how closely do we step the tight rope / With so much mental illness today / Exposed…Depression, Anxiety, / Bi-polar…Obsessive Compulsive / Disorder…A mental health professional / recently advised that 9 out of 10 have / a mental health issue. / Are so few exempt…are these figures really true? With so much stimulation in the media, mobile, data / Sensory overload with iPods linked to our brain / Texting 24/7 with our mobiles we sleep instead of our lovers / Is the cyborg fantasy becoming a reality…? / in this wired generation? / Constantly on…we must be or we miss out… / We become fed by instant gratification / and stimulated by virtual admiration. / Addiction to this constant contact means that our / heads are overloaded with stimulus but / not given as much time to reflect, to think, to feel. We are becoming overdeveloped in responding to stimulus / and underdeveloped in knowing our own heart. / Strangers and outcast to our own feelings / Dependent on the hit and the high of the new / and losing sight of the bravery of the subtle and simple. / Craving perfection and the eradication of foibles / we photoshop out our character lines and faults / so that we fit into some kind of ideal of the neo post notion of beauty. Are not faults far more defining then some sanitised notion of perfection? / Are not our faults the real indicators of our individuality? / Is not our vulnerability a sign of our sanity? / Does not our sensitivity reveal that we still belong to humanity? / Taking time to celebrate and know the individual in their idiosyncrasies / Surely this is worth the effort rather then striving for some standard of / fantasy that can never be translated? I shudder when I think were we are headed / Man machine…woman machine…cyborgs half man half machine / I pray that disposable people, relationships that end with a click / of the key and people racing to rejection will never be the accepted. / And that the human mind, heart and soul will pause…think and / move the emotional muscle so that sensitivity can still survive / and link us together through heart and mind / right through to the end of time. So Vincent, Sylvia, Frances, Angelina and Girl Interrupted / Insanity does not seem to be able to define, / What really was going on in your mind, / As far as I can tell…you all could see, think and feel, / Oh that you suffered and were misunderstood / This cannot be denied but you were / real raw and achingly human in your pain / and there was no question of your humanity / Even if there was and still is a question over your sanity. To me you were brilliant, free, sensitive and intense / And by all indicators ahead of your time. / And I bow to your courage / to follow your own voice and live the / passion that was raw in your heart… / To me it is as if you just knew right from the start. by Anthea Slade 26-4-09

I’ve been playing with this shot for way too long. I’ve done about 8 versions and can’t decide which one, if any, I like best. This is the one I’m posting…any feedback would be great – you know how it is when you overwork something – can’t see the good bits through all of the annoying bits. / / / Camera: FujiFilm FinePix S7000 / Location: Tumut in the Land of Oz / / ISO200 / f/8 / 4.0sec exposure / R72 filter / Tripod / / POSTSCRIPT / / After reading everyones comments, I’m changing my opinion of this pic now. I’ve looked at the other 7 versions and this one is definately the best, actually by a long way so I’m glad I persisted with it…I think I’m happy with it now….and besides my limited photoshopping skills have run out – I wouldn’t know what else to do with it anyway….lol

Many dreams are forgotten or lost by the time we awaken fully, but that is not usually the case with dreams of flying. Flying dreams are very often a precursor for lucid dreaming; a dream state in which we are aware we are dreaming and can manipulate the outcome of the dream. Freely flying as high or as low as you wish using your arms or feet for direction, often with the ability to do acrobatics in the air is an indication that you feel really superior about something in your life. Once in a while, a flying dream will not go so well, such as when you can’t take off or you lose altitude or something is in your path and you can’t fly past or through it. / Surrealism art prints / Digital art prints / Fantasy digital art wallpapers
It was dark. And the smell of death hung heavy in the damp, stagnant air. I knew it wasn’t safe, but the promise and the temptation pulled me forward… deeper and deeper until I was in way too far to turn back. Suddenly she was upon me, the manifestation of my dreams surrounding me in multiple visions of my burning lust… but turned against me with the force of a thousand demons and sinking sharp into my taut skin like steel rivets… There was no escape this time. I am truly captive as she appears again and again to torment my soul. Even if I survive, I know that I will never be released as I am under the curse of the raven. / My spirit to roam free, never more. Never more… But jeeze, what an awesome way to go, yeah? BB AKA BillyBoy Thanks so much BB for letting me chew on you a bit lol. No seriously this was really a great collab. I hope we can do more! Hugs Love v
I know that shot could have been better executed, had to post it just for the fun of it, / comments and critique of all kinds are welcome. /
Mixed Medium on canvas. The original is now currently for sale This painting was formerly / but it never really grew on me and I had it on Ebay for a while and it didn’t sell there so I decided to take the plunge and work over it. So, the result is this rather nice (if I may say so myself) mixed medium painting which was really enjoyable to create. Thank you : )

“Listen a hundred times; ponder a thousand times; speak once.” / - TURKISH PROVERB My son Kane had no idea I was photographing him at this time…He was just wondering sweetly along a path in a local parkland area when suddenly he stopped and leaned on the fence. I honestly could not believe what I was seeing through my viewfinder when he did it. Then when I saw the photograph it just blew me away. Kane is 3 years old in this photograph. This is my all time favourite photograph I’ve taken with my DSLR to date. Played with the colour version in photoshop and am very pleased with the outcome. (black and white ) This was taken with my 300mm Canon lense. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ WINNER of the LIVE LOVE DREAM Feel the Emotion Challenge WINNER OF WEEKLY CHALLENGE WINNER OF THE children the power of raw emotion challenge ○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○ /
I believe this image has somehow created itself out of my subconscious…it seems to represent my childhood in GDR (East Germany) where I’ve been living a simple and happy life blissfully unaware of the restrictions that lay ahead and the lack of freedom…. It was not until later that I’ve realized how trapped I felt. Speaking your mind was dangerous and critizing the regime was certainly the quickest way to get locked up. Trying to leave the country could easily turn into a death sentence but obeying was too. Interesting documentary about the German wall on YouTube here I created this image for the Texture challenge in the Fine Art Composite group. I used four of my own photographs and various textures. Two of the textures (Splatter and Crystals) were kindly supplied by RavenSoul to be used for the challenge. Featured in the European Everyday Life group on 15 Mar 2009.
