Afterglow
As we are one –
Ethereally encompassed within the impassioned essence of sensual singularity and - Soul
Its actually a b&w photo I lifted from someone's Myspace page.
Although I forget exactly what keyword I used searching Google images, but I was looking for a couple paired in "Afterglow" that I already had the lines.
I like to "Google" my thoughts and inspirations just as I found your blog.
Still I am not prone to using photographs that I prefer paintings or pencils, but I will use photo manipulations if they have the "essence" of a painting.
Black & whites are hard to manipulate into paintings so I had to make it more a charcoal/dark penciled sketch.
I have four graphics programs I use, and even though I'm "blind" I'm very adept at them.
My poem Ophelia, if you Google the image and find the lengthwise view you will see the watermark I removed and blended.
I think my version is actually better than the original.
When I showed the instructor of web design class the before and after images all he could say was "wow" and asked me why I was even taking the class. :)
Well I need to be "certified" I told him. :)
I like it here at blogger because they aren't fascists the administration is at Myspace or most poetry posts and certainly Photobucket that I have to employ 6 image posts to keep my profile up there.
But if you saw my Myspace page it would take your breath away, its everything I have here except on one endless webpage.
Thank you very much for replying, you are sweet to be so kind.
Hi CharlzC,
ReplyDeleteThank you for your recent comment on my blog. I appreciate it. I'm happy to know that you are enjoying the blog :)
I like your blog as well! I will be 'following' it from now on.
I was wondering, the painting that you included in this post for ...who is it by?
