just leave me your feathers to remember you by.

today marissa (pictured here!) came over for some photos, and she brought along with her this cool birdcage! im currently all out of props i havent used before, so i was definitely interested in trying to find some way to utilize hers today. i was a bit worried, since bird cages, and birds in general, tend to be a bit cliche, but when this image popped into my head i thought i had a chance to bring at least a little glimmer of new light to an old idea - so we went for it!

 

i was thinking about how sometimes you can do more harm to someone you love by pressuring them to stay with you, rather than just letting that person go - or at least, not being so overprotective. the title is inspired from a line by gregory + the hawk, when she says "just leave me your stardust to remember you by." beautiful song.

 

feeling really good after shooting this, since yesterday i had something really cool planned but i ended up not even getting a chance to try shooting! always sad when that happens, and the only thing that can really truly make me feel whole again, is taking another photo. though mucho thanks to my bffs for dancing with me all last night. :)
