gambling 2

song: An Ace Unable To Change: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HKFJ02NiXN4

"Tonight I am gambling with my sentiment...
Tonight I am damned to my soul."
-Jason Molina

poem: Spinoza, part 2

Stripped of
yourself
naked
save
your
mind.
Salvation
is not being
served tonight
to those who
grapple on the precipice
of unknowing.
How is everyone else
so damn
sure of
themselves?
People don't
even want to pony up to the
gambling table of deities.
Allow me to take a
turn at the dice
and submit to
the flicking of my wrist
to determine the
locale of my
eternity.

-krista.

[James LaTrobe]

Wow, love the black and white, the slight colour, the motion blur and the huge empty white space. Excellent!

[Ian JB]

love the motion of the hand and dice and the dice on the table...

[bkb in the city]

Nicely done

[Andrew]

very cool processing. great idea.

[Andy]

Very nicely done and those b&w dice really look good.

[Meredith McNay]

Great action shot.

[Wylie]

almost looks 3D with the dice rolling out of the picture foreground!

[Pam]

The image, and the music go hand in hand! I have never heard this song before. Haunting, and sad. Love this series!

[Suse♡]

I love this concept and what you have done with it

[kali]

I am finding his music challeging to listen to, I downloaded pyramid electric co is that a good one? I think I need more melodic music at the moment, and the poetry takes so long to unfurl I can't follow it, maybe on the page I could dig it.

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Cool shot and very creative.

[Krista Marson]

@kali66 ya, he's not exactly an easy musician to listen to. His most 'melodic' is perhaps 'josephine' album with magnolia electric company. His best album is Didn't it rain' as songs:ohia. (he went by several different band names). My other fav is his solo album, 'let me go, let me go, let me go'.

[Yao RL]

Love the series, good luck??!!

[Jasper]

Very clever and well executed.

[Sue]

Fabulous execution. love it.

[Taffy]

Great 'action' shot!

[Stephanie Swift]

Very effective pov, and I like the motion blur in the hand, fav.

[☠northy]

cool motion blur in this shot... and cool comp as well!

[Saxa van Eijnsbergen]

'Allow me to take a turn at the dice' - I like that thought. Your shirt with the vertikal lines, go well with the dots on the dices. I'm enjoying your project!
