As it happens, I am often at a loss for words when it comes to relating my thoughts and feelings about a given subject. It is perhaps because I consider myself to be a person with a concentration of acute visual aesthetics, rather than that of the written word. So looking at the expression of a photograph such as the one before you, makes one feel in a certain way, yet should I try to express this feeling in words, I risk failing its impact on the viewer, to fall short of the true message expressed by the image itself. When an image is complex in design and content, words can add to its meaning and help the viewer to better understand the artist’s intended expression. However, when words cannot do justice to the art, it is best left wordless of description, leaving the image open to interpretation by the viewer to react, hopefully in an emotional way.

Art is about asking questions, not giving answers. I guess, by now, everyone who ever took the trouble to read the texts that accompany my images, has heard my complaints/fears/worries of saying something poignant and relevant to accompany what the images already convey. As an artist I often hope that the visual communication is all that is necessary. However, I have found that the number of comments and responses are far greater when the image is accompanied by a well thought out text. It starts a dialogue that not only makes the images more interesting to the viewer, but also to me. As I create intuitively with images, the words alone can sometimes be quite limited. It is then that the comments left by viewers complete the communication of the art. I want to thank all the Flickr members that have continued to comment on my images and have added so much to their meaning and my own understanding of my art, bringing to light that which have until now only been feelings, sensations and undefined concepts or thoughts. This image, for example, is very appealing to me. As a professional visual artist and aesthete, I recognize the success of this photograph. Technically, it is very sound. Pleasing colour and composition, lighting and drama. The model’s pose is exceptional and the look on her face (and what a face!) is precious. But what does it say to the viewer? What does it say to me? I know it elicits emotion. It certainly does for me. At the very least, a reaction of some kind from whoever sees it. But what does it all mean? I can consider writing an entire scenario about Christy, my model. I could write about her life, aspirations and dreams. Give many answers to explain her expression in both facial as well as body language. But if I do that, I might as well just be a writer rather than a photographer. So I ask myself... writer or photographer? The answer is quite clear. I am a much better skilled photographer than I am writer.

Sometimes my life feels like it is not my own. I feel as if I exist in a borrowed identity. Occupying the body of someone other than myself. A much older man than I am, yet with unlimited energy and creativity. And intellect that comes with much greater maturity than mine. Sadness comes over me, when I realise that this, in fact, is me, but the “newly found” me. Where and when have I wasted so many joyless years? Never stopping to recognize what is important. Using my time of rest as just a time to repose. To empty my mind and replenish physical strength for striving on. Dreams of being an artist were completely forgotten upon awakening. Can this life really be called awoken? Or is the reality of my existence residing inside this imaginary one? So I reflect on many things. Those things that most men fantasize. And women too. Living a life of passion. I have been wishing for it all along, just not remembering it when I awake. A large version of this sensual photograph of Isabella should be see here .

Just couldn’t resist showing Christine’s full, hearty laugh during our first ever photo session. I thought this would be a good way to introduce Christine to my stream and my Flickr and Ipernity friends. Great photography requires dedication, time and effort.
