Wasn't it beautiful when you believed in everything?, And everybody believed in you?
Not sure if I went a little OTT on the border... Also, it's actually a really nice day but this looked better in black and white.
Last night, after my run, I went to the park and went on the swing for a bit. The sky was beautiful. It was so clear and all the stars were out. I then went and lay under this basketball hoop. It felt like I was lying under a black dome with pin pricks of light shining through. I felt very small. It was beautiful.
I am growing up...and it's not easy. I do miss being a kid and running round and having no responsibilities, no exams...I miss not having a constant dialogue in my head. Sometimes I miss it more then others. It seems like I'm growing up too fast and I just feel like shouting at the world to slow down! xD I need to stop, catch my breath and then catch up again. But if I stop, the world will keep going and I'll get left behind. So I've got to keep going, keep trying and aim to do everything to the best level that I can :]
What an awesome composition, Naomi. So creative!! I remember feeling the way you do at different points in my life. Finally at 71 I am at peace, not living in yesterday or tomorrow, but just living this moment. I wish I could have done this years ago. This moment is all we have anyway. =)
I think the border adds to the pic. Nicely done. Just curious, but you said you went for a run and then to the park. Am I to assume you took your camera with you on the run? That is dedication to photography.
Oh I really like this, great angle and editing! Your last paragraph makes me think of Anne of Green Gables, but maybe that's because I just finished reading the first three books and I'm mildly infatuated. Oh also, awesome lyrics!
I think it's also interesting that I've looked at three different pictures of basketball goals just today....yet they are unique and great in their own way.
This is awesome! I love the perspective, I love the shapes, I love the B&W, and the borders, too. The fact that you are worried about growing up too fast is a good sign that you are still enjoying your childhood. Most kids are so eager to grow up that they lose site of their innocence, and then it's too late. You have a maturity beyond your years, but at the same time, you are embracing your childhood. I think you are doing a wonderful job of navigating the teenage years. ;)
This is such a powerful shot that so completely matches you feelings! When little kids look up this is what they see, only not as artful and from a different perspective. Well done!
Great perspective on life and this photo. Very creative shot. You have such an eye young lady. Keep looking at the world like no one else sees it. That is what makes you so much fun to follow.
Yep, I have to agree--getting older has it's drawbacks. But there's plenty of good things too. Just do the best you can, right? This perspective turned out really nicely (matching your thoughts)
I don't wanna grow up.
