Sometimes Voices Lie


Sometimes Voices Lie was my first real photo series. I'd had big plans for the series (done for a photography final in college), but I was lucky enough to come down with pneumonia the month I had for working on it. I fluctuated between being healthy enough that I only coughed quite a lot to not being able to walk down the hall. So. Instead of finding subject matter outside, I found everyday objects to transform through my Lensbaby (2.0) with my +4 or +10 macro lens-attachments. I then decided that I would pair every image with a line from my novel in progress. The idea was to push the boundaries between what you saw and what you wanted to see after reading the quote.

This image, called Vardøger, had the following quote paired with it: "Naessa followed the whim of a laugh through the dream-forest, the laugh weaving between the trees like a whir of light."

I like the title of the series--very powerful and intriguing. I bet you got a good grade for merging your art in such a way?

Thanks! Oh yeah--I got solid A's in my photography classes. =) But then, the profs were so awesome the grades didn't matter at all. (Our profs were two artistic/living partners who functioned as "one" prof. One office. One email. One salary. I miss them.
That sounds like an amazing life! To be able to be so close to someone that you can do everything together. WOW! I don't know and I miss them too lol
I know, I've always been a little bit jealous of them. Then again, they are ker-azy. Well, at least one of them is. In an endearing sort of way, of course.
