don't try to see
just feel... feel the force


... Because you care. You really care. And care translates into passion.
And when a photographer feels so strongly about what he or she is shooting, it comes through to the viewer...

Thanks, Phil for everything! Have a wonderful and safe trip.
And special thanks to Kal too for the title words :-)

Love the composition and meaning. I agree with chris - like an elegant advertisment.
Chris Sofopoulos05-Dec-2006 08:35
It reminds me a photo from an advertisement.
And beautiful beautiful words!
Dan Chusid05-Dec-2006 03:09
So...you going to take my picture now?

Really like the curves and the symmetry.
You should send it in to Nikon!

Would make an excellent Nikon advertisement. Very, very creative and skillfully executed.
Guest 04-Dec-2006 23:18
Let me put it this way: the Nikon marketeers should see this image with the accompanying text. it's their best publicity.
It's a wonderful image, perfectly balanced. the smooth metal of the camera with the smooth skin we see.
Victoria04-Dec-2006 22:47
Awesome, brilliant idea & very creative shot
Guest 04-Dec-2006 21:18
A hearty illustration of the words, but in this one, I will pay more attention to the graphic work, very sleek - symmetry, soft contrast and soft light, cold tech side. A very "advertising" image that shows that besides being a great creative mind, you have also an strong technical knowledge.

Such a valueable quote by Phil...and an excellent translation with your work! Real and passionate photography is work with the heart! Beautifully done Ai Li!
Phil Douglis04-Dec-2006 18:46
I meant every word of it, Ai Li. And this image certainly evokes thoughts of photographic passion. The heart, as Kal notes, is a life force. What the heart is to the body, passion is to photography. When the heart stops pumping, we stop being. And when a photographer stops caring, their images mean little or nothing. You do care -- and I thank you for using my quote at as abasis for this image. What a wonderful sendoff!
Stu04-Dec-2006 18:33
You get the message across really clearly. The quote applies equally to lots of your recent galleries as it do to this one picture. The great work will always stand out whatever the medium. Magnificent.
Guest 04-Dec-2006 17:53
If you ever want to sell that Coolpix on Ebay, use this shot :-)
