The searchlights had intelligence within
their beams, it seemed... their arcing sweep that pen-
etrated deeper than the surface when
a wall the other side of you’d begin
to turn from safe concealment into now-
selected scrutiny. The Leader wears
his profile in the city night, his brow
drawn low in disapproval. One eye stares
you into gaping terror while the oth-
er pleads recant – come back to me. To me...
As if The Leader were your father/moth-
er/home... Are children home with parents free...?
Another sweep across the wall... a chill
that I had been exposed... I choose free will...

The poem was inspired by the image, and was written within a half hour of seeing it.
The image was something that produced by trying out various Photoshop filters on photos taken yesterday at a performance in the State Museum auditorium in Harrisburg PA. Most of the photos taken during the performance, with the lights down except on stage, were unspectacular as far as clarity goes - they weren't good photos if you wanted clear shots of the performance, is what I'm saying. But there were definitely some interesting images that came out of the shots... ones with potential for creation of art of another kind.
The image here that inspired "Profile" isn't one of the performance - you'll be seeing those and the derivative artwork over time. This was a shot of a sculpture at the back of the auditorium. (I'll have to get the name of it later.) It looked like an angel - a female looking down with her hands up to her head and lifting her hair. I used Photoshop's distort/polar coordinates (polar to rectangular) filter on it, then cropped out this section of it (approximately the left half of the full image).
It immediately hit me with the impression of a symbolic WWII era poster (but in some alternate universe) of searchlights arcing across a night sky; an unnaturally elongated profile of a pallored face with the tip of the brim of a military cap just caught in the light above the face; below it, the aquiline nose, upper lip and chin lighted, the harsh cheek in penumbra shadow except for a slash of light on it like a scar, and the rest of the face in deep, featureless shadow; and the back of the head again in light (a flow of hair, the back of the neck); a hand coming down from the upper left corner, grasping...something (but it's even better that it isn't clear what it's grasping - that's part of it being symbolic... you fill it in with something personal); and the image being divided roughly diagonally upper left to lower right, the lower triangle filled with these symbols, and the upper triangle being deep black - a black filled with terror of what might be there (if you look closely, it's not a solid black - there are roils of disturbing swirls faintly there in places)... a black that penetrates down into the lower triangle as dark wing-tips (below the profile's chin, a little to the right, just at the bottom of the image)... And there's the blocky yellow element in the lower right quarter with so many typically-totalitarian symbolic elements, particularly the jagged top of it - fingers of an iron hand...? Crenulations of a military wall or prison...? You name it. :) Heck, the image even had the color cast of a aged-look that many WWII-era posters have...
Yeah, this image had a powerful inspirational effect on me...

Oh, three afterthoughts - for some reason, it's adds to the disturbing nature of the image, as interpreted, that what would be the profiled head's body has an impression of being in a serape, though I don't know why (maybe The Leader's propagandists evoking through the image the impression of The Leader that "Hey, I'm one of you"?); the orange & black Halloween colors of the image add to the scary impression as well; and I notice a similarity of the facial profile in the image to ”Fearless Leader”. :)
Can't express how much I love this. It was a bright sunny day (we were in the shade) and I had my camera set to F2.4 WITH flash, and it just brought out the essentials, nothing more. I didn't even tweak her eyes!

Profile perspective of my favourite pink & mauve edged camellia sesanquas in the front garden of our home in Castle Hill, north-western Sydney, Australia.
#30 - A face in profile 113 Photographs in 2013
This sculpture is part of a grave monument in the Cimetière du Montparnasse in Paris, France.
I finally got to putting the v4 nose on the thing and it just looked ... wrong. It was definitely a stud too long (confirmed with the scaling tool) so back around I went with a shorter front hood and corresponding changes everywhere to accomodate it. Just about everything here needs tightening up, but it was fun to get all the elements together at last
This is one of my profile pics. It changes depending on my mood. I guess I'm pretty moody because it changes often.
Right now I am feeling blond and wearing the Maitreya Lara Mesh Body. I have not yet gotten a mesh head...someday soon, but at this point it's the classic SL avi face under that LAQ skin, wear Glamorize make-up that doesn't exist anymore.
I love that things change and get better, but I do get saddened my the loss of quality goods and services in SL.
A bar by the Dog & Duck pub, which was since named Pendulum. It closed and this building was gutted (though the façade was retained) to become Mimi's Hotel with a bar called Henson's Bar (photo from 2025). The Profile bar relocated to Wardour Street, but closed too a few years later.
Address: 56 Frith Street.
