None of the arts – literature, painting, music, or even cinema – touch me in the same way as photography does. Photographic images for some reason go deeper into my brain, heart, and soul, and calm me down or, on the opposite, stir me up like no other form of art.
Music amplifies my mood. Movies shake me sometimes, give me food for thought. But photography gets inside, and changes me. And these changes can’t be undone. After looking at pictures like this one, I’m not the same person anymore…
Amazing picture. thanks.
Tiamat,

Your post is amazing, not the picture which is yet amazingly tasteless (the girl is beautiful though…)
Lana,
