Description
*You think I am down...
well maybe I am, but only
cos my body needs its time
to raise up again...
I might seem calm,
while obeyin you...
I might seem nice,
while smiling at you...
But I feel rage towards you all,
I feel you're stealing my forces full.
It's gonna end,
cos my mind thinks:
no longer more
I'll fill your dreams.
You gotta do what helps yourself:
my choice is freedom,
a brand new set
of duties and rights
you never cared of
too taken in makin me do
your jobs and plots.
I might look down,
but I do reason well:
after this month,
you'll think of me.
With regret.

-----------
Picture taken with Zeiss Ikon Netter (an old vertical camera property of my father) lights artificial from three lamps, old film (from there the dusting). Scanned with Epson Stylus CX 3200, normal settings.
No postwork. The picture is of that dimension due to a scissor's cut :).
Model of course is me.
----------
I took a long series of pictures with me posing and with that old camera for a request Black_ST did to me months ago to pose for him.
I gave him 9 shots, and some more I will, but I kept for myself of course the majority of the session (two days.. it was long.)
This one was perfect to explain you all the way I feel lately. I am never around due to insane working.. but it's gonna end. As New year starts, I will take 6 months off from my work as University Researcher. Basically cos I don't stand the Milan's crew there around me.Which makes me do things I was never hired for doing.
In the 6 months off i'll start a new career as administrative responsible of an important society round me.. and maybe I will finally get my second Master degree (in Psychology) and finish to write my book of tales for children, and searchin an editor for it ;)
So don't worry for me in case you were. And read the poem.. it explains much.
Hope you enjoy :)
PS: Out from this session in grey-blue will be taken the picture I am gonna use for the gift of Xmas to some of you dears :) expect it in parcel at your houses :) Hugs again :)

Well, I'm late on this one, but you look gorgeous in this, very sensual and seductive. Glad to hear that you will be doing more of what you want to do in the near future...all the best ;)
I know you are strong enough to move over this obstacle too. And I know you know it.. :) It's a very emotional piece you have made here too alongside the poem. Go your way and that way will always be the right one. :)
You like like a tigress casually but purposefully showing off her claws. The image on top brings reason into it. Love this one.
wow and hugs too looking as always for that ray of sun shine in the gray
I have always thought that you are most stunning looking lady .This image is a superb piece for your writting .Bravo love !!!!!
Ah, such feminine beauty. And yes, I truly believe it is time for you to move in a different direction.
..... Il n'y a pas de plus beau paysage qu'un visage!!! Take care!... I like the Rouault on your wall!
It has all been said! All the best in your endeavors, dear!
Meli, you look so marvellous, so mellow and relaxed. A truly lovely photo.
Lovely photo!! Very nice effects!!Great work!
The grain adds some dramatics to this photo. I love the pose in this photo very much! I wish you luck in the newly chosen path of your life! Hugz, Tjeerd.
Hi, awesome expression you made. Beautiful lady, composition and the setup is sublime .. super done gallimel.

Oh my, how beautiful! Best wishes! :)
Ohhh, I'm out from my realm and I've just came in yours...I love what you have written down; my respect because you succed in expressing your feelings...[I usually write when I'm down]....Choosing the freedom when you need to do that is the only thing that can bring the surface your happiness![...]Funny how almost every boss hires us for differrent attributions that we have in the contract! I guess you better quit your job and find something else that can bring sattistaction; obviously, untill than take some rest and take care of your soul!!! Big Hugs Mihai
You are beautiful Meli and it's a nice photo! Good luck to you my friend, in your new career! Hugs. :)
The focus and grain create a great aura for this piece and adds to the theme perfectly - Need more tape on the poster though :)
The picture is nicely posed and the grain and treatment transforms it into a whole other layer of art. Nicely done.
excellent work from every angle
I just love this Meli!! Your hair is about the same length as mine & funny its about same color hehee Sorry to be late in your art, I had one comp crash & then all the sudden had out of state unexpected company that stayed a week! Things are finaly getting to norm again!! Xcellent work.
Gorgeous!!!!!!
excellent self portrait Mel and I like your writings
Full of attitude and very provocative...I am becoming a very big fan of grain. This reminds me of an image that was the spark of my very first attraction to the opposite sex...waaaaay back when I was about 5 years old....the cover of the "Flashdance" album. The woman on the cover had a similar pose and similar attire if I remember correctly. Too much info maybe...lol! This is an excellent photograph Meli!
