This is for the Fiveplustwo-passion challenge. Shockingly enough I chose Anger, although I'm not sure it fits the brief.
It may come as a surprise but I do have a tiny little bit of a temper, and he's a nasty, sneaky, dirty fighting little beggar too. I can deal with the big stuff without too much stress but god help the civilized world and all it stands for if I drop a tea spoon while doing the dishes (yes, I do the dishes...). It should be noted that I do not drink tea from that particular cup but I do often carry a knife. I should wear glasses for reading but seldom (never) do. The chair cost $5. I ramble.
Guess what it's best viewed against?
I am a confirmed and certifiable nutbar with a penchant for skulls, bones, blood, guts, fire and anything slightly peculiar and mostly bizarre. I also...
Fantastic double exposure! Excellent against black, of course. And, I can't help myself, there is something I'm drawn to, in a way that I'm not too comfortable with. Well done! Fav!
@cocobella I shall take that as a compliment :) Thanks very much. @northy It's my baby... @thomastoth Thanks very much indeed :) @gigiflower I don't think the cup would help much at all...it has too many flowers on it. @eyeamlisa Thanks very much - am I starting to get to you? ;)
Love this! :) You are a delightedly sick twist. I like that about you. Have you noticed I emphasize that theme a great deal? I don't say that to just anyone!
@eyeamlisa Excellent. Happy days all round then. @gigiflower No. That's also it. :) @voiceprintz I'm flattered, and I mean that from the heart of my bottom. Thank you so much :)
This is brilliant Graeme. I love the way your baby is stuck in the floor. I did guess right away what is best viewed against! ;-) I honestly didn't notice your ghost until I viewed it that way. Big Fav.
This sparks my imagination! I can imagine 'angry you' swiping that dainty teacup and making it shatter into a zillion little pieces. Which of course might make you angrier....Love it. And isn't it true, what you said, about the little things agitating much more than the big things?? I totally agree.
@originalintentionstudios Thanks very much @hermann Thanks very much - it's a 1930's (?) "Club Chair". I got it from the local Hospice Shop a couple of weeks ago, we'll get it recovered eventually.
@louuncouth Thanks very much. I've just finished Stephen Kings Dark Tower series and started Jonathan Norrell & Mr Strange by Susanna Clark. @rustymonkey Thank you very much indeed. This one is going to Camera Club. @jess1204 Thank you so much, always appreciated :) @golftragic LOL, thanks very much :) @andrewkru Thanks very much indeed @chippy1402 Thanks very much - our house seems to have its fair share of odd scenes...not quite sure why. @jaynspain Thanks so much :) @newbank Thank you kindly, as always. :) @tomtom Thanks very much - this one is going to Camera Club next week. Publish and be damned!!! @shannejw Thanks very much. The knife is affectionately known as my "baby"... @dide Thank you very much indeed :)
@newbank You betcha. Should be interesting - we submit next week and then have to wait another 2 weeks for critique. I'm sure I'll feel my ears burning!
@annied The lovely and inimitable Mrs. S gets somewhat irked when I leave my "clod hoppers" lying around the house...and thanks awfully for the fav, always appreciated :)
@graemestevens oh I would surely trip over them - my daughter has a habit of dropping shoes about the place which I manage to trip over - I maintain she is trying to kill me lol
@annied I couldn't possibly comment...when I get home they're the first thing to come off though. Hate them, especially these ones as they had steel caps. @yaorenliu That was the general idea :)
well you always manage to surprise us and keep us on our toes. like the narrative and like the composition. excellent stuff and can't wait for the camera club outcome
@tracie8266 Thanks very much indeed :) @sioux Thank you very much, appreciated :) @pinkpaintpot Thanks very much - I'm interested too... @peter_1966 Thank you very much @pittcj17 Thanks very much...always have a knife somewhere @wearing0 Yep, all is well here :)
You have that knife tip placed exactly in the join of the floor boards so think you might get away with it this time! That delicate tea cup looks completely alien in your angry world! You make a great ghost though!
@happypat Yes well, I didn't want to ruin our beautiful rimu floors...and thanks very much :) @tellefella Thank you very much, always appreciated @wenbow Thanks very much - I'll take the Hyde part if I may :)
I really love this! I think it depicts everyone a little bit...there's the outer you and the you that you try to keep under control! I love how the outer you looks so prim and proper and the anger so eerie looking! Great effect! FAV
Love your story telling shots. I so focused on the knife and the cool character in the chair that I missed the ghost until I read the comments and went back up and looked. Perhaps more creepy, eerie without the ghost for my taste, but understand he was necessary for the theme - well done on creating said ghost.
Wow ....very odd ...I have viewed this image many times..... I get lost in all the mysteries! But I just realized this time I had not commented.... so there you go =classy maniacal film noir = awesome! :)
@northy It's my baby...
@thomastoth Thanks very much indeed :)
@gigiflower I don't think the cup would help much at all...it has too many flowers on it.
@eyeamlisa Thanks very much - am I starting to get to you? ;)
@gigiflower No. That's also it. :)
