Artist's Comments

I was working on an assignment for school pertaining to spontaneous portraits. The key was to catch the person as they are, without the camera affecting their daily regime. I saw this girl on the bus and she was by far one of the most saddest girls I've ever seen. She had large red bags under her eyes. No smile to be found. Looks like she hasn't slept for days. Her mother was oblivious to the capture. It's clear though, the child wasn't. I think a part of her wanted to be captured in this fashion. It seemed she was suffering far too silently.

It pains me to look at this picture for too long. It's far too real.

You're so right... I remember looking at the neg with you. Frig, it's so sexy, I'm in love!
That girl, she must be mine! Hah hah!

I love how natural her position is... it's so incredibly natural, not a care as to how she looks...
It's amazing! :excited:

And that's why I never take the bus. So many stories of pain and hate. Powerful piece, very powerful eyes on that child. They almost look alive in the picture but the girl herself looks dead inside.

Creativity is essentially a lonely art. An even lonelier struggle. To some a blessing. To others a curse. It is in reality the ability to reach inside yourself and drag forth from your very soul an idea -Lou Dorfsman
