We have much more than our love of Khalo and chronic pain in common;I look forward to learning about one another. I hope you do join the Chronically Inspired art share group on FB and share this blog there.<br />Like you, unfortunately Khalo's trauma also began in childhood when she contracted Polio. The illness never stopped after that. I know you can relate to that.<br />I look forward to learning more about you and more from you new friend.

"The more pain we see, the brighter your beauty shines!" What an interesting way of seeing it. Thanks.<br /><br />I'm pretty proud of those photos through the grass. I thought they are a good illustration of what I mean about the altered perspective of the disabled and the abused. It's both metaphorical and literal. Who knew that clover is so beautiful?Charlotte Issyvoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11081140798331499819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-371230315197236857.post-69768552935287029422014-07-14T06:43:55.219-07:002014-07-14T06:43:55.219-07:00I am so touched by your honesty, and relieved to f...I am so touched by your honesty, and relieved to find another who ventures into the darkness.<br />I also love the photo from your prone position in the grass. I know something of seeing the world from an unusual position. It seems you are becoming more and more able to express your pain, and also transcend it in your outfits and writing. The more pain we see, the brighter your beauty shines! Keep going.

But also don't forget that my Beau takes a lot of the photos. It's quite collaborative: I pick poses and spots and angles but he takes the photos of me, or most of them. I generally try to pose in areas that are somehow thematically linked to what I'm wearing, and/or what I want to say. Often, though, I don't even know what I want to say until I see the photos.Charlotte Issyvoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11081140798331499819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-371230315197236857.post-32266432182878293052014-07-13T15:41:01.599-07:002014-07-13T15:41:01.599-07:00I think your photography is also your art, as much...I think your photography is also your art, as much as writing, because you are using pictures to tell a story, too. And often you can express different emotions with pictures; words are often so connected to our intellect and the analytical mind, whereas pictures can reach a more primal part of our being, or connect with us emotionnally when words fail. Pictures also transcent cultural / linguistic boundaries.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01822796974112289222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-371230315197236857.post-74043020881233368412014-07-12T15:46:50.624-07:002014-07-12T15:46:50.624-07:00Very well said & happy that you shared this.
