MRain:Not Caring Anymoreby ~Catwoman69y2k

While =UniqueNudes was in town, he decided he was going to try using outdoor areas for bodyscapes, rather than indoors. Rain didnt happen as it was expected so we got inventive. Besides, this gave Richard the chance to turn the hose on me for revenge (I didnt manage to make his bday party a few weeks prior).

Honestly, this is one of two shoots done towards the end of the year that sums up my general outlook about 2008. I had many moments like this where I "didnt care anymore" or just was in a pit of shortcomings. Nice to look at this now and know Im not there anymore, and that an artistic shot could come out of that kind of emotion. For that reason, as well as the cropping, this image is in the Expressive Category.

Oh...:faint:... Your gorgeous expression and delightful gaze off-camera is very stirring, touching and appealing. It creates such a breath-taking mood, too. Your face is so lovely and wonderfully shaped, and your complesion is so peachy and dreamy. Very fine and lovely. Thanks so much. :rose:

Ironically, I think this shoot is one of my least favorites. Sure I love to explore textures when I do nude photography (for years and years I have dreamed of doing a mud shoot for just that purpose), but this was done during a very very depressing time of my life. My expression (and the photographer's title of this submission) says it all on how I was feeling overall in late 2007, the entire year of 2008, and a small bit of 2009. But who is to say that all photoshoots are meant to be happy and carefree, never dwelling on internal conflict?

Yes, without some sort of conflict, we don't really sustain interest. You're right to point that out. It can be subtle and refined, or bold and overstated, but it has to be there, for sure. We often have to give something of our private angst so that others can benefit from it. :D

Yeah. Honestly, my photographer had a set or two where other models had gone through a similar experience. So yeah, the camera does not lie.

Although, that could be what Photoshop is for. ;)

Oh goodness, I just love this capture. It is all there; in your face there is pathos, but there is also hope for the future. There is the wonder if you should hope, and there is the finality of throwing the past into the trash. Lastly, there seems to be expectation, and the fact that you might not know what to expect. This is evocative and powerful, and moving, and ...Beautiful. Thank you for bearing yourself to us. I hope there are others who can see what's here.

Its funny that you make this observation, for this shoot actually happened while I was fighting a long bout (1.5 years) of depression. In fact, most people have thought I looked sad/unhappy in this series, which would proove that the camera doesnt lie.

Its nice to see the other side of the coin. :)

How has it been since? I have no personal experience beyond puberty, but I have known others who say it never leaves them. Dating someone who is depressed is an experience that borders on reaching a bottleneck and being just small enough to get stuck there permanently. Sometimes I wanted to go through to the other end to get out, and at others I just did not want to enter; I knew that the experience of getting through and out would be almost unbearable. Then there were the times when being stuck there was intensely blissful...
