I caved in.
Told myself i wouldn't take a picture of any kind of Cherry Blossom during the Spring weather. But it was just too pretty. However, satisfied of the result.

Total Surrender
"...When Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put on his outer garment…and plunged into the sea." [John 21:7]
Have you ever had a crisis in your life in which you deliberately, earnestly, and recklessly abandoned everything? It is a crisis of the will. You may come to that point many times externally, but it will amount to nothing. The true deep crisis of abandonment, or total surrender, is reached internally, not externally. The giving up of only external things may actually be an indication of your being in total bondage. Have you deliberately committed your will to Jesus Christ? It is a transaction of the will, not of emotion; any positive emotion that results is simply a superficial blessing arising out of the transaction. If you focus your attention on the emotion, you will never make the transaction. Do not ask God what the transaction is to be, but make the determination to surrender your will regarding whatever you see, whether it is in the shallow or the deep, profound places internally. If you have heard Jesus Christ’s voice on the waves of the sea, you can let your convictions and your consistency take care of themselves by concentrating on maintaining your intimate relationship to Him. Amen, HALLELUJAH God bless
I feel like I have so many ideas that are trapped inside. You might say I'm "mind-bottled". If only I could get them out and polish them up, then I'd have something really special. I spent about an hour trying all different poses for this one, but in my opinion, it payed off, and sometimes, that is what it's going to require. Soon I will be able to release all my ideas.
This is entirely inspired by the amazing Rosie Hardy (all credit goes to her), everything she does inspires me, and I have her to thank for helping me evolve and challenge myself. Miss Rosie, if you ever do see this (of course I cannot thank you enough, but this is a start) THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU SO SO SO SO SO SO SO MUCH! (and although I could go on forever, I don't want to bore anyone)

It seems that already this project has been teaching me a lesson or two. I've been feeling like giving up somedays on not only the project but photography in total. Because of my frustration and anger, this was made.
I began thinking of the future - when I don't care about what others think if I lie in my driveway, when I'll wake up at stupid hours, when I'll get mad at horrible images and so many other things that this path will take me. It's uncertain and unknown, no way made for me. This path will be difficult I know, but in the end, when the finish line is in sight I'll look back upon my photography and realize it's alll worth it. For now though I want to wake up everyday and do what I love, whether it be in this small town or in a big city. I'm excited for where this will take me, who I'll meet along the way and the memories that will be forever printed into photographs.
Sorry for the long caption, yeesh. Please press L.

The Fine People At Wikipeda have this to say about the original picture(s) this was based on.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V%E2%80%93J_day_in_Times_Square
V–J day in Times Square, perhaps the most famous photograph by Alfred Eisenstaedt, is of an American sailor kissing a young woman on V-J Day in Times Square on August 14, 1945, that was originally published in Life magazine. (The photograph is known under various names: V-J day in Times Square, V-Day, etc.[1])
Because Eisenstaedt was photographing rapidly changing events during the V-J celebrations he didn't get a chance to get names and details. The photograph does not clearly show the faces of either kisser and several people have laid claim to being the subjects. The photo was shot just south of 45th Street looking north from a location where Broadway and Seventh Avenue converge.

However it does seem this statute is based on another photo taken at the same time by a navy photographer. (from the same Wiki entry):
U.S. Navy photo journalist Victor Jorgensen captured another view of the same scene, which was published in the New York Times.[4] This photograph shows less of Times Square in the background and does not show the full body of either the sailor or the nurse. Unlike the Eisenstaedt photograph, this photograph is in the public domain (by virtue of being produced by a federal government employee on official position).
Drafts of Surrender photo project. The colors don't look right in jpeg form. They look less washed out and have more blue tonal variations in the original files.

A U.S. Army color guard and firing detail from the 3d U.S. Infantry Regiment (The Old Guard) were part of the opening ceremonies April 9, 2015, for a special observance and reenactment for the 150th anniversary of Gen. Robert E. Lee’s surrender of the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia to Union Gen. Ulysses S. Grant April 9, 1865, at Appomattox, Va. The Old Guard served at Appomattox in 1865. The event featured hundreds of Civil War reenactors, such as those shown here, and thousands of spectators. (Photos courtesy Kim and Mary Jane Holien)
Lee's Surrender overshot blanket, ready to weave. This felt good!
I assume that this weaving pattern came from sometime around the Civil War, given the name. I can't wait to actually have it finished!
