Artist's Comments

Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life...You give them a piece of you. They didn't ask for it. They did something dumb one day, like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn't your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so simple a phrase like 'maybe we should be just friends' turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It's a soul-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. I hate love.

And then I go and spoil it all by saying something stupid like "I love yooooouu...!" :sing:
Back to business.
The piece here shows a charming sense of symbolism, having cut a heart in the middle of hand written I love yous, all while not making it so bombastic that it hurts or is sappy, but rather, soft, short and sweet.
The piece also hold's an obvious but also gentle sense of emotion, a combination not often seen due to being a difficulty in mastering, but the artist has done it here! Though I do feel like I've seen this somewhere before, I'll give the benefit of the doubt and call it Stupid Cubid fluttering around my head.

Bottom Line: Charming and well atmosphered, and also holding good innovation and inventiveness. What will they think of next? :meow:

This is a photograph that someone would have to examine quite a bit! At first I wasn't sure what you were trying to say (I don't like to read the artist's comments until I get finished looking at the photograph) until I noticed that outside the heart it says "I hate you" and inside the heart it says "I love you." This certainly changes my view on it quite a bit!

I think you've taken a fairly cliche idea and put a new, original spin on it. The depth of field is just great, and I love the shadows on the top of the heart. It really adds a special something to this image. I would've worked on shooting this from a different perspective to get a very different spin on this idea. That might have given it an extra "Pow!" :)

I agree with what you said in the Artist's Comment.
people think that love is oh-so beautiful.
well it is... one side is. the other side, "Breakup", is hell.

I love this.
it opens up the old buried thing, I called it love :lol:,
that I couldn't kill before and I'm sure I can't kill it now.

Mood: Love =panduka56 Jul 4, 2009, 4:49:10 PM
True, there is a obvious good side to it. And i wrote that sometime ago when i thought i was in love, However for I am not sure if i was in love or not, all i know is that I had a really hard time forgetting her. So it is basically hell after it

And i really appreciate your comment and i do like the one you said , love is hard to kill :fork: lol

I like this one
Words & hearts should be handled with care... For words when spoken & hearts when broken are the hardest things to repair.

See, love is such a dangerous thing, capable of so much hurt. So why does everyone look for it? :P

However love can be a nice thing to happened to some one as well ....The only hard thing is to not to fall in love it is to fall out of it :D

I like it. Not sure if I agree with it though.

Love exists inside sadness and pain, and vice verca. We don't know one without the other. If you want love, you need to go through pain. But is the prize worth the price?
