Description
If you wait for me then I'll come for you
Although I've traveled far
I always hold a place for you in my heart
If you think of me. If you miss me
once in awhile
Then I'll return to you
I'll return and fill that space
in your heart
Together again
It would feel so good to be
In your arms
Where all my journeys end
If you can make a promise
If it's one that you can keep,
I vow to come for you
If you wait for me and say you'll hold
A place for me in your heart.
excerpt from "The Promise" by
Tracy Chapman
Okay,I already know it's grainy.And I also know it's blurry.And yes I had it up once but I pulled it because it met with such a dismal response.But Sheila(tvernuccio) said something to me the other day that really hit me.She said she will post something simply because she likes it,even if it isn't perfect.And I really love this pic.It reminds me of an old movie still.So here it is again.Thanks ,Sheila,for helping me reset my priorities! :)
Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!!!!!!!!!!

Prinzessin
Its a wonderful and very moody portrait!! I love it just because its not perfect - the grainy and blurry effect give it an individual touch and personality!! Its an excellent work!!!! :-))
Tedz
A fine Image...looking like a Still from an Old Movie :]
CameraObscura
Not everything photographed needs to be tack sharp especially a portrait. Yes, I also agree it looks like a film still from a 1940's movie. What makes this photograph precious is not that it is your child but the mood and private refelective moment of a teenager it represents. Thank you Sheila for the encouragement and thank you Marlene for reposting.

Hello Marlene ! I totally agree with Sheila, keep going with your own priorities ! Hold on ! You are capturing and sharing great photography ! The Tracy Chapman lyrics are wonderful and this choice also reflects your personnality... I'm proud to have you in my favourite artists list (Thanks to Zacko for guiding me to your gallery some time ago...) Enjoy your week-end ! :~)

OMG, Marlene...i had NO idea you yanked this one! it got a dismal response? i don't see why or how 'cause when i look at it, well, it's just one of those images that goes straight to my heart & soul!!!! the grain is perfect here. Blurry? i never noticed. still don't. I'm drawn in by her deep, dreamy eyes and the intensity of her expression. i look at her and see myself. it's how i think i looked at her age, and i guess, in some ways, it's how i look now. I don't know what she's thinkin' about but i have a feeling it's important. Marlene, this one is soooooo very special, and i'm so glad you've put it back here. I'm glad that what i said made you decide to put it back here. this image is a treasure...one for you and your daughter to look back on and enjoy together. it's a beautiful moment in time you've captured! BTW, if i only posted my technically perfect images, my gallery would be empty!!!!!!!! :) You're a gift and so are your images...soulful. you can't do that in photoshop. it comes straight from YOU! into favs!
Zacko
Ooooh ooooh its back!!!! HURRAY!!!! Accomponied (...i know...im swedish...not dyslectic...spellcheck please...sigh..) by the lyrics of one of the most beautiful songs ever. YAY for your returning this one to the gallery Marlene!!! As i told you the last time, the grain works perfectly in this one. You captured a really great expression, and your unusual frame is soooo classy. You did amazing, and you should be proud to have this one in your gallery. Have a great weekend #:O) ....P.S. LMAO at Tedz....did you cheat by any chance, and read beneatht before commenting on the photo you devil you #:op .....edit...pssst, GiMi53 did i guide you to her gallery? Well there you go, lol...had no idea.

This portrait is lovely just the way it is. I also enjoyed your poetic reflections.
maggiemai
I agree completely with CameraObscura and tvernuccio Marlene! To catch such expression and feeling on film is truly your gift! It's wonderful and I'm so glad that I get to see it! :-)
Mimey
I like this picture, I like her expression and I like this poem. The (not wanted) grainy and blurry "effect" makes especially this picture perfect
soulofharmony

This photograph made me recall woody Allen's movie "Manhattan". For me, his movies are favorite dishes. I enjoy a universal content and his comedy though I don't know about New Yorker well.
nhirschberger
Fantastic capture ! Wonderful light and mood ! Excellent work !!! V

And if I love this one it 's just because it is not perfect. The perfection gives somethink cold.
