My Declaration I am not harming anyone.

I am not brandishing a knife in a person's face, cocking a gun, or wiring an explosive ready to shatter somebody's life. I am not corrupting, drugging, or even torturing someone to death. If I am harming anyone, it is I that is being harmed mentally and emotionally, if not physically.

Yet, it seems I harm people by my very existence, by not being slit, sliced and slashed, shoved and suffocated into the mould they want me to be. Who and what I am... simply unacceptable. I find it difficult to understand how I am harming these people. I harm them by going 'out of my (and theirs, I'm sure) way' when this 'way' is me. I

~ Be careful of the pretty things, lest they ensnare you.

I haven't posted anything photographic in a long, long time, so I apologise about that. I haven't really been feeling it lately, even though I have thousands of photos saved.

A special thanks to =Krzik who directed me on this path to take a macro shot and upload it. It's a very recent photograph, which is an added bonus for you guys because I usually take aeons to upload a piece. xD

If any of you could suggest any more ideas on what I could post (APN, architecture, abstract/surreal, etc.), it would be much appreciated! :D

As for the photo... I found something, and shot it for all it was worth. Nothing much more to say to that. :P

Wow!~ I love the piece!~ Beautiful capture of something so interesting.

Reminds me of as leaf or a moth/butterfly's wings for some reason.

I love the colors and the temperature of the piece. Your art always has really interesting and deep meaning.

Love that aboutchu!~ :glomp:

This made me want to write the first time I saw it, but I didn't know where to start. Today it took shape - the barest of outlines, but it's getting somewhere.

I just wanted to let you know that this piece inspired me.

Really?

That's pretty interesting... let me know when you finish it! Though I'll probably read and comment anyway, as you rarely post. :paranoid:

Thank you. It means a lot! :hug:

Hmm, am I right in thinking it's the 'bones' of a leaf, on a feather? :B

It's a great capture, it looks so delicate.
The way it has reflected (Is that what has happened there?) is interesting, the different angles you can sort of see.
Very lovely.

Leaf and feather, yes. :D

Yes, that's right. :D

Thanks a lot! It seems as if you've seen everything here. :P
