Artist's Comments

When I was younger and I was upset.. I locked myself in this room.. it was the only place I could be alone.



For once, I wanted a photograph that had real meaning. This is quite personal. But it can still be interpreted any way. And comments and critiques are still appreciated.

The original photograph was quite dark.. not a lot I could do as far as editing went.. but I tried over and over to get it right. Maybe it's a bit too dark now. I know it may not be the best technically.. but I thought I would still share it with you.

I totally understand that, I used to lock myself in the bathroom too. I like the fact that it's so dark, nice work.

Thanks very much. I actually had the door closed more.. but it swung back.. I ended up being content with the composition. I didn't expect it to work like I imagined it.

Thanks very much. Just got the same camera as you.. but the shots haven't been coming out terribly clear.. guess I don't know how to work it.

This is a pretty intimate shot, which initially I was a little apprehensive about. You know what I'm like...

But it must be every photographers goal to convey intimacy (no, not the sexual type...) in an image, and you've done that. It's vulnerable and powerful.

I'll be there in a few weeks. You won't have to hide anymore....

*smiles* As long as you think that.. I don't care what anyone else thinks.

Perhaps I'm just in a better position than others. I see different things, different insights....

That's why you're awesome.
