Tim,
As much as it saddens me to know you are grieving- you should know the beauty you created out of that sorrow, and the serenity that is portrayed is soothing and comforting as the other commenter noted. These truly do appear to be a message of support. A story of two isolated women coming together and finding relief. I think these are excellent and I hope that when you revisit them in a better state of mind you realize how incredibly talented you are to have been able to find such beauty in so much sadness.

Would it help you if I said that I see the difference in your photography on this set. You were greiving. The art portrays a more isolated and sad image. But, the art itself is wonderful. Because you were working with two people who trust you and care for you, they projected what you were feeling and did it very well. This to me is true art. Just as in words, pictures can portray sadness. It is okay to feel the sadness and have it come through your pictures.

If these pictures had turned out any other way, it would have been disappointing. What I see in the pictures are two young ladies comforting one another. For me, it was better to see this than two young ladies smiling and portraying the image of playfulness knowing you were hurting. That's what artists do. Portray their feelings.

I feel a sense of peace coming from these pictures. They are wonderful and you should use them as well as the reason why to enter in a gallery. People seem to be able to relate to remorse and grief easier than happy-go-lucky.

You should not be disappointed in this work. It is fantastic. I am sorry, however, that I was unaware you were hurting that much. Your two models knew and that is why they followed your lead. You are blessed with a talent and I am glad I am able to share in this blessing by viewing your photos!
