You might spot me at Kirra Beach, the South-Eastern end of the Gold Coast, Australia, if you like beach walking like myself... but there is more ! My son Jeff (*jif3d*, here at Rendo, it helps to advertise, ooops)... he took this pic of me in 2000, then manipulated it in photo-shop and it's still one of my favourites. Just very briefly about my past... *born in East Prussia; *grew up in Berlin, West Germany; *migrated to "OZ" in 1960, (not the Wizard of Oz) but...AUSTRALIA ! I guess I was more into '2D' since early childhood, and thinking that my son Jeff may have inherited some of my artistic skills, because he translated them into '3D'. I am hooked on photography, since I discovered cameras... that's it in a nutshell. BTW - one of my fav.quotes.... ** I cannot give you the formula for success, but I can give you the formula for failure - which is trying to please everybody !** that's a wrap... Cheers Brigitte.

A super shot and a great interpretation BB.

A brilliant interpretation, Brigitte. It brings a fresh interpretation, which I can relate to in some way.

I love your Moroccan lamp, as your photo-shots, which looks splendid, and the interpretation?...'No' I don't have a better one, my friend. Take it easy there with the hard work, my Brigitchen!

fabulous picture

Creative visual interpretation of a classic song. To me, "wearing the face that she keeps in a jar by the door" signifies that she puts on makeup to create a false front to the world to hide her despair & loneliness. Why is it "by the door"? To rhyme with "who is it for?", of course...

Very good work one interpretation is that everyone has a 'face' that they present to the world, to their friends, etc.

Great idea and realisation!

Eleanor Rigby subsists on the crumbs of other people's romance and happiness, dreaming that one day she will find love. Rather than go out and make her dreams a reality, she sits in front of the window, looking the part of a romantic heroine, hoping her Prince Charming will see here there and sweep her off her feet. I think when she's home alone with the drapes closed, she probably schleps around in her fuzzy slippers feeling sorry for herself, but whenever she goes out, she puts on the face she wants other people to see. Keeping that face in a jar by the door is the same as keeping your coat and hat on a hook next to the front door. It's part of that liminal space where someone like Eleanor transforms herself from her private self into her public self ... she becomes the person she wants us to think she is. Your image is a perfect representation of the song lyrics, to my mind. What an extraordinary piece ... it's wonderful!

Superb realisation of what to song meant to you, I'll go with face in a jar, as most chicky babes I know always have to spend a lot time getting their face just right to present to the world...mmm. glad I'm a guy...LOL On the other hand, keeping you faith in a jar is also another guise she wants to present to the world and not the fuzzy slipper atheist look...LOLx2 Good one BB ! ~Cheers~

awesome work

Fantastic work Brigitte!! It could mean that she does not interact with the world, but merely to observe and therefore people can not know her inside, looking only at the outside as shown somewhat exposed in a vitrine.

Damn, auntietk stole my thunder! I was going to say exactly the same thing. That said, an outstanding image, done in a postwork media that I'm unfamiliar with, Brigitte! Love the textures.

I love how you have created this marvellous image and it really suits the song beautifully. I like auntietk's explanation too as the words have always struck me as a bit ambiguous, but I have always liked the song. I do like the lamp too. Very well done.
whaleman
You have made a rather spectacularn creation, and In like everything about it, as well as the Moroccan lamp!
Madbat
I think Auntitk said it perfectly, that's how I always took that song anyways.
