The Light

"It's kind of fresh you listen to more than hip hop.
And I can catch you in the mix from beauty to thrift shop...
There is a light that shines special for you and me." ~The Light by Common

Song that was on my iPod when I snapped this picture. Love that song and that line. Plus, I find Common so sexy in that video...Feeling lazy with the pic. When I'm uninspired I'll take pictures of food or my lips. Strange, right?

I remember once when I was at NYU, I was smoking a cig outside Main Building and some dude with a camera came up to me and asked if he could take a picture of my lips while I smoked my cigarette. I said, "Sure."

What was I thinking? Had no idea what he used them for. Nowadays if some strange dude came up to me with that request, I'd tell him to GTFO.

Hoping today doesn't totally suck because the weather does.
Well you do have nice lips! Does that sound weird? Lol. Cool pic!

@islandk8 lol doesn't sound weird to me. I'll take a compliment when I can get it so, many thanks :)

Also because I'm in the mood to overshare... "I want you back" by Jackson 5 is playing RIGHT NOW on my coworkers radio. Nothing like a lil J5 to brighten up this gloomy rainy day. Stay dry, folks!

@fauxtography365 Great song! Have a good day!

Nice pic, sweet lips! Seriously. Like the processing.

Ps. why does The Light remind me of my 22nd bday? Fall. The Yanks/Mets world series-ish time. No?

@snaphappy1 thanks. I think the album Like Water For Chocolate came out in 2000 around the playoffs that year. Good times!

@snaphappy1 p.s. your 22nd bday? That long ago? you're getting old. Kidding. So am I. *cries*

Wow, I've got to say that, photographically uninspired or not, your lips are utterly photogenic. And I mean that in the most sincere, uncreepy way. This is a picture of true natural beauty.

And when Water For Chocolate came out, I was 37. Common is a bit out of my genre.

Classic Common record. :thumbsup:

@denn_ice yep. Though "One Day it'll all make sense" is a good one too.

Besides the beautiful shaped lips, you really composed this shot so well.
