Prisoner by graemestevens

Prisoner

I can't help wondering why this sort of thing always happens to me - here I was, minding my own business in the garden shed when a length of chain just up and attacked me for absolutely no reason.
I never critique your stuff, but this would be better with a really big chain. Very awesome concept, as usual.

Fuerte, muy increíble tu trabajo! Guau!
September 24th, 2015  
your pursed lip pout - interesting - love the gritty detail
September 24th, 2015  
Fab composition and processing.
September 24th, 2015  
Hahaha fabulous shot Graeme! "Why oh why do they" indeed :) Oh the things you own... :)
September 25th, 2015  
What did you do this time?
September 25th, 2015  
This is a great shot, terrific contrasts
September 25th, 2015  
Trussed up like a chicken!
September 25th, 2015  
I'm with Amanda... Don't you play innocent w me ;p
September 25th, 2015  
@carla42 Thank you very much :)
@amandal I swear I'm innocent, it just attacked me!
@kerosene I have a shed full of discards and "stuff"...and thank you
@sewsharyn Thank you very much indeed :)
@annied I couldn't help it...the chain pushed my face out shape completely
@andybong8 Thank you very much - I wouldn't go as far as amazing ;)
@melston You're more than welcome to critique and in this case I completely agree...I just didn't have any that wasn't already in use (best not to ask)
September 25th, 2015  
@happypat I used to be free range...
@northy I'm completely and utterly fault free this time...mostly...maybe
September 25th, 2015  
Awesome!!! Fav
September 25th, 2015  
Ok... Pinocchio
September 25th, 2015  
I can't think of anything clever to say so will just mildly comment that some people get in the way of rampaging chains!
September 25th, 2015  
Oh, I'm pretty sure it had a good enough reason!! And, you got a great shot out of it! What I don't understand is how come you always have your camera at the ready when these things happen to you! ;-)))
September 25th, 2015  
Oh, and FAV, of course!
September 25th, 2015  
Ok! There! Are you happy Now! .. You got me a singing.. Take these chains from my heart and set me free..... Now I want a beer. All because of one photo.
September 25th, 2015  
I think I have heard a similar story from students, just not about chains! Great processing!
September 25th, 2015  
@graemestevens Yes Amazing. I like your works. Me gusta mucho tu trabajo.
September 25th, 2015  
It probably happens because you deserve it :-)
September 25th, 2015  
@marymacaroni Thanks very much :)
@northy Hmmm...there could be an idea for shot in there somewhere...
@maggiemae Some people? How very dare you call me "some people". I'm aghast.
@panthora I don't understand that either. I think it's following me...
@wildernesswillie Have that beer, you probably don't want to know that I very nearly named this shot after that song...
@lsanderson55 It's not usually chains for me either...
@andybong8 You'll make me blush, but thank you again :)
September 25th, 2015  
@deliad You could be right...in fact, there's probably not much "could" about it
September 25th, 2015  
Bad chain! Bad, bad chain! Must learn to behave itself.
September 25th, 2015  
pam
love your narrative-great image
September 25th, 2015  
@taffy It has a life of it's on - I'm still fighting it off!
@timewalker Thank you very much :)
September 25th, 2015  
Well you know, chains do have a nasty habit of thinking for themselves. Hope you managed to talk your way out of this one?
September 25th, 2015  
@dibzgreasley I nearly free...nearly.
September 25th, 2015  
ummmm minding your own business.... really???
September 25th, 2015  
Yes----You can do it Houdini:)
September 25th, 2015

September 25th, 2015  
@alinz For a change...ummmm, yes?
@joemuli I'm working on it...
@quackyquack I knew I should never have gone in there - and thank you
September 25th, 2015  
Admit it, you enjoyed the wrestle! Love the gritty black and white.
September 25th, 2015  
@pixelchix I always enjoy a good wrestle ;)
September 25th, 2015  
I'm not buying your story one bit, but I do like your photo :)
September 25th, 2015  
Ha - rough places to hang out those garden sheds!
September 25th, 2015  
@dide You always have to be on guard!
@cndglnn I'm almost insulted ;) And thank you
September 25th, 2015  
i don't believe it - your eye is ...........pouty too hahahaha - couldn't think of the right word lol
September 25th, 2015  
That is a rather unfortunate incident. It was very lucky you had the camera handy.
September 25th, 2015  
I hate those days when the inanimate become alarmingly animate and the inert become scarily ert....... Those are the days when parcel tape can become your worst nightmare. :)
September 25th, 2015  
All tied up in chains, whatever next? Leaves you a little vulnerable I would have thought!
September 25th, 2015  
Great setup and shot Graeme...Fav
September 25th, 2015  
:) you're welcome
September 25th, 2015  
@tonygig Thank you very much :)
@shepherdmanswife It did indeed...the other tools in the shed started to give me the evil eye as well
@swillinbillyflynn Don't get me started on the duct tape! That stuff is just evil.
@karlow75 That things following me as well. No wonder I'm paranoid.
@annied The chain did strange things to my face
@cndglnn I know ;)
September 25th, 2015  
You seriously make the best portraits I've ever seen, I'm sorry that chain attacked you though
September 25th, 2015  
@etchasketch1 Thank you very much - the chain survived the experience, although it was a close run thing
September 25th, 2015  
awesome concept and super photo
September 25th, 2015  
This speaks volumes!although you may have created it for fum!
September 25th, 2015  
I swear blind that you' re got a link coming out of your left nostril... that's definitely out of order. Creative as usual Graeme.
September 25th, 2015  
The harsh lighting creates the mood so well.
September 25th, 2015  
Ha ha! Have to laugh at your intro. Great shot of you and your chain!
September 26th, 2015  
Amazing capture! FAV
September 26th, 2015  
@beachdog Thank you very much :)
@pools82 Thanks very much - I had the ring flash cranked right up to max...nearly blind now
@vignouse It was going for every possible orifice!
@my_photofun Thanks very much - I can't say that it was fun at the time!
@mindeater Thank you very much
September 26th, 2015  
@yeshanghai Thank you very much :)
September 26th, 2015  
There's no justice in this world for we creative folk. Love the shot. Fav.
September 26th, 2015  
Okay, if you didn't do this to yourself then someone got smart. I am really getting into your shots they give me a change of pace.
September 26th, 2015  
@golftragic Thank you very much :)
@joansmor I swear it wasn't me, I'm perfectly innocent ;)
September 26th, 2015  
Oh this is intense!!!
September 28th, 2015  
@leanne333 Thanks...try wearing them ;)
September 28th, 2015

September 30th, 2015  
@brigette You're quite right of course, and thank you
September 30th, 2015

January 16th, 2016  
@bankmann Oh...intriguing. I keep a fully stocked shed full of...stuff...
January 16th, 2016  
@graemestevens
Some things I have. Others I don’t. And then there are some things I need to replace. ;-p
