Hummingbird

Suppose I say summer,
write the word “hummingbird,”
put in an envelope,
take it down the hill
to the box. When you open
my letter you will recall
those days and how much,
just how much, I love you.

I really love this image. I saw it a few days ago and have been thinking about it ever since. The simplicity of it belies the power of the emotion in it. Excellent work! v!

This one just fills me with stillness and sadness. It's like your frozen in solitude and we can only watch from afar and sympathise, while knowing that your feeling is your own - that only you can comprehend it. There's a stark vulnerability here, not of the 'see me bleed' variety that grates, but one which reminds us that each of us is a an unbearably tender thing when our guard is truly down.

Love the frame and angle. And this angle is one of my favourites.

Love the bluedy mood... makes me think to a movie scene ( like 'Bleu', de A. Tarkovski, where there is a scene, in a swimmingpool, in a same blue mood). Strong&beautiful SP, Ana!

Guest		04-Nov-2006 00:02
Impressive SP...but every SP you do is impressive,Ana. Very creative, as usual.

Guest		03-Nov-2006 10:21
Again light Ana, now a cold blue light...very strong and moody portrait...my compliments.

Guest		03-Nov-2006 04:20
Harsh light, negative space, tension on the arm and closed eyes give a strange feel to this image. Not your usual warm and low light images, something more disturbing. Very creative work, Ana.

I'm always impressed..love the blue glow and your body language..v

Good blue, you look to be , most of the time in the blues , jazzy, wave. You may no know him, but if you are a blue addict, like me, fly to buy "Balcan Blue" by a certain Dusko Goycovitch. But if you do not find him- any albun from him is good- buy "Last Quater Moon" by Ciara Chivello. But if everything fails I never fais, I have this and much more and mail you those in MP3 . Abraço jorge Your pix ? Good, I love those blues ...

Very touching photo Ana. You have a unique way to express your feelings with photography and to move these feelings to us. Feel like Guenter!

Guest		02-Nov-2006 22:28
Very wonderful and luminous blue tone ! And also a frozen picture ! Vincent.

Some days feel "blue" as in "having the blues".

Martha Albuquerque		02-Nov-2006 20:14
I totally agree with Guenter, Ana. My Vote.

scott clarke		02-Nov-2006 19:56
You must be feeling daring. Not the soft warm light we are used to. Regards Ana.

Guest		02-Nov-2006 19:33
You cannot deny me my sky as I shut my eyes airtight into a dream.Already my fingers are feathered with the lightness of escape.And the cage of my flesh has melted away like a husk spent from autumn, releasing its jewel from the crysalis.I am drawing my breath deeply from heaven now.And I do not intend to return. ~V!~ Your grace shall soar :D

Guenter Eh		02-Nov-2006 18:11
A strong, honest and moving work Ana! I`m deeply impressed!
