broken

2007.08.19


This evening I went by the lake, there was a sale of
all sorts of old things.

It is the opportunity to relax and have fun, there is music,
food and drinks.

I asked this lady if I could take a picture, she was happy
and paused for me. And where shall I send these pictures ?
-"Psyatric hospital, I am Kriss"-.

My heart shrank. Broken by life

Carley Very powerful portraits....and nice double meaning. At first I thought that "broken" referred to her arm in the sling..... But, looking at her expression in the second shot especially, I'm not so sure that she has been broken by life......maybe cracked or dented a little.....

carmitage Carley she looks a bit odd on the second picture I agree, but she
only gave me that look when I took the picture. We had a perfectly
normal conversation, she is leaving the hospital in 10 days to
join a protected home. I love your comment ...crakcked or dented
a little... I must remember that expression !

chipotle oh, my. in some ways this is so heartbreaking. but look at her smile! you captured her beautifully and tenderly.

magpy maybe she's not broken by life, just experiencing life in a different way
fantastic shots

angeljoy Perhaps the makeup job skews the perception?

Sevendipity Most people present masks to the world and it is the photographers opportunity to add a hidden spirit layer to each image. You have done that well here.
