Couldn't think of what to name this for awhile; then it just came to me
Fragile, because of the hearts appearance, the paints coming off, therefore making it look damaged.
Heart, that's pretty obvious.
Background texture is ice from my backyard.

We, humans, are fragile beings. We are easily overwhelmed by strong emotions of anger, anxiety, depression and so on, and exit out of it seems too narrow. The fragility is often expressed in forms of violence. Such act only leaves scratches, dirts and dusts in, on, and around ourselves.
I thought I'd do something a little different today - was about to chuck this spotlight bulb away (got the wrong one and was too lazy to exchange it in the shop)...yh I know , real lazy - and thought about getting an interesting shot of it instead!
Thought the intact bulb was a little boring, so tried breaking it a little. Tried doing that using the end of a corkscrew - repeatedly hitting it, but man, these bulbs are crazy tough to break!!! Either that or I'm a wimp!! :D...Gave up with that idea and smashed it against a empty beer bottle - yeah, real manly!!! :D
Anyway, it made me think about how many things in life are fragile...perhaps, we think we ourselves are fragile...but you know, deep down there's always some strength remaining. Sometimes, it's way more than we could have imagined!...It takes a lot to completely break us.
...Keep believing in your own strength.

It is a tragedy that has befallen this mighty building.
The Notre Dame captured my heart the very moment I saw pictures of it while looking at the Paris guidebooks. And when I visited this impressive piece of history 10 years ago, I couldn't contain my excitement.
Even from afar, the Notre Dame Cathedral is an imposing structure: two tall towers rising 70m above the mass of low-rise buildings that dominate the center of Paris, behind which the lie the cross of the 73m long nave and 46m wide transept, each rising 4 stories, and supported by the massive bulwarks of the flying buttresses. Even the spindly spire that collapsed was large from up-close.
It took 100 years to build, and it stood through 800 years of tumultuous history, through both the World Wars. And yet, even such a mighty structure can be fragile. I do hope they rebuild it to its former glory.

"she shines
in a world full of ugliness.
she matters
when everything is meaningless.
fragile, she doesn't see her beauty.
she tries to get away.
sometimes, it's just that nothing seems worth saving.
i can't watch her slip away.
i won't let you fall apart....."

Today should've been day 100, but that clearly didn't happen. I will catch up though. I've had such a busy week what with getting over jet lag, catching up on university, working and editing two lots of client photos tonight - but now it's all done, I'm mostly over my cold and hopefully I can relax and shoot some more this weekend! I've had this idea for such a long time now, and I glued together this card house specifically for this shoot perhaps two months ago. I'm glad I finally got to shoot it today, even if I couldn't light the cards on fire as I'd hoped to as it was too windy. This is an extension of my childhood series, hopefully it gets the message across.
As always with the photos in this series, I really would love opinions on the emotion, what you think it portrays, anything you like! :)
Flickr sharpening has done some strange things to the grass in this...

I love taking photos of old, beat up and forgotten things. This photo was taken in Jamestown, NY at an old Lumber factory on Harrison St. near the Cycle Shop.
The tempered strength of a fragile beauty is a rare thing to see.
Strength that is tempered loses some of the luster that sets true beauty free.
But beauty remains as it struggles and strains for a lasting legacy.
For beauty, though fragile, is not weak as some believe it to be,
It is the power, the spark, the flame of delight that burns for eternity.
