Artist's Comments

I'm sure some people have wondered where my userpic came from, so here it is. This isn't the photo I used for it, but it's the same subject. --After some thought, I've changed this to black and white. I think it helps put the focus on the idea behind the photo.--

I'm lucky I spotted this. I just happened to walk by the grapevines we have growing on our property (we have a ton of them all over the place) and I spotted this shadow and just knew I had to get a photo of it. Originally I was just going to photograph the shadow, but I thought the image/message was much more powerful if I included the tangled vine that created the shadow as well.

I actually went back the next day to get this shot because the ones I got the day before just weren't right. I wanted the shadow in focus and the tangled vine to be out of focus but still prominent enough in the photo to tell that's what made that shadow.

I hope you enjoy, full view is recommended.

I have the feeling you can read our thoughts. lol I would already ask you when your userpic was in color and today I saw it was changed in b&w. It's good you included the tangled vine that created the shadow. :)

It's funny you mention psychic, do you you have sometimes that dreams come true? I have it sometimes and it's really strange. I had already two times a dream that someone die and on the next day I got the message that a family member died. The dreams were so similar like the reallity. The last time I had a strange dream is about five weeks ago, but luckily nobody died. I woke up scared and my girlfriend asked me if I had a nightmare. I told her it was a strange dream and I should tell her about. In my dream I sat in an bus and a person without face said, your girlfriend isn't honest and she has an other guy. I would ask the person how he know it and then I woke up. My girlfriends answer was: "It's strange you had the dream and when I asked why she said just "I don't know". The next evening she was different as usual, suddenly she started to cry and told me some things. She said, I had/have second thoughts for a guy and I wasn't honest to you. We talked a long time about everything and she asked if I forgive her and I said yes. She was lucky I forgave her and everything was alright again. She said she is so happy to have me and she would never be so stupid to leave me and she love me so much. One day later I gave her a love poem I had started to write some days before and some hours later she dumped me for the other guy.

I have had dreams like that before. They always creep me out a bit when I do. I also get deja vu a lot. That's really weird how you dreamt about that before it happened. I don't think I've had anything quite like that. Or at least not as direct as that. I sometimes get feelings that something bad is going to happen, and I'm usually right. -huggle- I'm sure you'll find that one person who will treat you the way you deserve to be treated. I know I'm searching for mine. :)

Really? That's strange that you had dreams like that before, but good because you understand me and I'm not alone. It's the same with me with the deja vu's and the feeling that something bad is going to happen, and I'm usually right too. The dream with my girlfriend was very direct, but I was sure it was just a strange dream because I trusted her totally.
With the feeling that something bad is going to happen, I have a good example and it happened approximately three months ago. My girlfriend drove sometimes with a friend of her and the girl isn't a good driver. I woke up at this morning and I had a bad feeling that she could have an accident with her. At first I wasn't sure, but I called her with my cell phone and said she should tell her to drive really careful that day or stay at home. My girlfriend was confused because I never told her such things and she talked with her friend that she should drive careful. I couldn't fall back asleep and I was worried the whole time. My bad feeling with her didn't came true, but she cried when she came home. In the morning at the same time drove a close friend of her with his 12 year old brother and the both died because a car accident. Although it was different, it was a strange feeling.

Thanks again for your kind words and I wish you the same. *hugs back*

:D Thanks! I'm super glad I spotted it. I actually had to go back the next day to get this shot because the previous ones just weren't right. The focus just didn't seem right in them.

Wow, I do so love the sharpness of the leaves. They look so terribly, terribly real [well, duh>W<''] and hard.. A bit like plastic leaves.. But the best thing is the shadow of the curly thing.<3 ^_^
