I constructed the photos i took last night into a set that hopefully suicide girls will accept. If not, that's okay because it was kind of on the fly. But i do really like it, and feel connected to it. I was inspired by empathy for my best friend who broke up with her boyfriend of 3 years this week. It was something she needed to do, but it hurts nonetheless. And this set i shot was really about the connection that exists with music and emotions. The songs that anchor memories to your heart and stir up feelings unexpectedly. The way it soothes your aching soul when emotions overwhelm you so much it hurts. And the need for the 'Composure' that music provides. it helps seemingly senseless things make sense to you and fills those gaping holes that are ripping you apart. It says the things you can not say, and conveys the feelings youre feelings. Music wraps around you and comforts you while you cry, and lifts you up and dries your tears. Music does more than hold your hand- it carries you, supports you, and inspires you. It takes you on a journey- emotionally, spiritually, and through space and time itself.
whether or not this set is good enough for SG, it was the first time i felt like i was shooting something meaningful. and i hope that that comes across. And i feel like i tapped something within myself that will really help me going forward.
