Ray, A Drop of Golden Sun

2008.04.15

Let the rain kiss you.

Let the rain beat upon your head with golden liquid drops.

Captions are from a modified version of a Langston Hughes poem, April Rain Song

I would have never decided to get my camera out that rainy night if it weren't for the beautiful images that inspired me:

When I looked around for more raindrops-on-glass pictures, I found:

As for the title.... That song has been in my head ever since DawsonSwan posted his "Doe, a Deer" entry, haha.

So glad to have brought you a little inspiration to someone as gifted as yourself ;)
i too adored leocheung's photos from that post and I can totally see a little bit of both our images in your work here. The 2nd shot is intriguing..its almost as though you were outside and down on the ground looking out onto the rain..just beautiful....whole set is gorgeous...
PS..cant get that sounds outta my head now ;)

I REALLY LIKE THESE!

I remember one day I was sitting in my car waiting for my girlfriend to get back in the car from a store and it was raining and I was trying to take pictures like these...

you've blown the ones I took out of the water!
