Wow... that's a very powerful image; not only a great composition, but it gives us something to think about; to consider the implications of the message.
I was hoping you would post this one separately, so I could resteem it 8-). As I have said before, I'm not much into arranged or posed photography, but this is the Good Stuff.
It's a shame curating is so slack, this deserves more attention.
Thank you!! It's quite alright, I'm just glad to finally have this up for future followers to see.
OMG I loove this image. I think it's the top of my favorites. I've Seen it on Instagram and every now and then I look at it. It's absolutely mind blowing :) I'm definitely following you & I'll resteem this on just for safe keeping ha ha
Aw, Raoul! I love hearing that :D Thanks, man!
Haha my pleasure! Keep on inspiring! :)
This is an amazing work that deserves more recognition here. I can see how much effort and skill has been poured into it :D I like everything about it from a technical standpoint of view.
However I'm not too big on attributing insightful meaning to photographs. It's not a criticism, it's just that I must be broken in some way or simply lack that "giving deep meaning" ability altogether. I admire photography from a viewpoint of color, contrast, composition...
Now, the reason why I mentioned it is I wanted to ask you something. In your article you write:
My question is - have you ever seen your photograph being used to promote something you strongly disagree with - be it an ideology or a trolly propaganda?
Thanks, Cat. I understand that everyone responds differently to different things.
I've never had anyone promote something I strongly disagree with through my photograph, at least so far as I know. My favorite has been a quote by Rumi: "One of the marvels of the world is the sight of a soul sitting in prison with the key in its hand." Probably the most questionable was: "This is what you look like as a white suprematist." I definitely do not want to be connected with an evil ideology! But in either case, they both acknowledged the vision of a man drawing himself into a box.
Very creative! Resteemed!
Thank you!
Very good pic mu friend! Congratulations! (;
So awesome @johndykstra. I resteemed it on my account here @the189. Keep up the good work man :)

Thank you, Otto!
Really awesome image. Thanks for sharing it here!
Amazing as usual - I love the image and the title. It speaks to me of the ways anxiety and shyness can box you in and shut out the world.
Good interpretation, Lee :)
fantastic approach! and beautiful outcome. very touching to see your art.
Very clever. I am following you.
