title or description


I've been wrestling with titling this image since I edited it and planned to post it, on the 27th of April. I'm still not sure this title "fits", but it's the closest I can get to a title that I feel captures the feeling of the image for me.

There's something of Percy Bysshe Shelley, The Cure, and maybe a little of Bertha Antoinetta Mason (aka Mrs Rochester from Jane Eyre) in this image for me. A mixture of longing, grief, madness and melancholy.

The title I've borrowed from a piece of music by Michael Nyman from the soundtrack to The Piano. I love his music and his knack for titling pieces of music.

More from yesterday's shoot.

Apologies if the quality of this edit is atrocious. I can't tell. I hate editing photos on laptops, even my trusty MacBook Pro, because the screen angle makes or breaks an image and I can never tell whether it's right or horribly, horribly wrong. I suspect there will be a bucket-load of re-editing to be done on my return to London, but I wanted to be able to post work as I went, and avoid a backlog any larger than I could help!

Additionally, had I not been so pressed for time in buying this 'puter, I definitely would have pushed for the matte screen. Any light, in front or behind the screen, creates a reflection and impedes my editing. The ideal lighting ends up being none at all, which isn't exactly helpful when editing during the day, and isn't good for my vitamin D requirements.

It would also help if I could find a way to tell O2 that I want to view all images on websites at normal resolution, not super low resolution, despite being on mobile internet, as everything is blocky and pixelated. It makes my eyes hurt, and means I can't see exactly how this looks to y'all. Le sigh. /rant.
