The difference between theists and atheists is that the atheists don't set the theists on fire for refusing to agree with them.

Lovely collection Knucklehead. A story in each photograph.

Gringo,
What`s nice about viewing images is you can make up your own story as well as the photographer can.

Absolutely.  For example, some of your photos remind me of the montage like scenes from the "I Spy" series of childrens books.  They keep asking, what am I really seeing?

As with all art - your own interpretation is always as valid as the artist's intention (if there is one) - though often these coincide.

I`m glad you liked my "pick me ups".
I still have to go see the sculpture garden you`ve posted.

Growing up 2 is also a very good portrait - and deceptively simple.

I like SCREWED UP...and a previous portrait of the child.
Two totally different topics but still...
How I feel about photography is that it should show "joy of life" no matter what's on it (even when topic is death).
Joy of life itself...that I somehow lost recently.Probably that's the reason why I can't produce photos that even I would like lately..haha.

I hope you find the joy in life again very soon.

Thank you for your well wishing...I also still have hope.
Because I feel life is a gift...we shouldn't waste it.
Our joy on the other hand is not always in our hands...
You know how they say that "beauty is in eyes of beholder" (or something like that).With a photography I feel it is very important WHO is taking it.We can have same cameras , same object etc. and still we'll have different photos.Cause we put piece of our soul in every photo.I have heard somewhere how some people do not want to be photographed because they believe that it's taking a bit of life (soul) from them.But it also give that piece of soul to others who are going to see it.
Aboriginies here in Australia do not want to see photos of deceised people ( I do not know exactly why is this ofending to them)...I had photos of my dead ancestors around the house untill at some point I felt unconfortable and I put them back to the album.
Photography is definitely strange media.It capture seconds of life...indefinitely.Good photography capture joy of life...even when it's sad.
All the best In Wales...
