every time i got in the shower and ran my hands under the water to test the heat, this thought struck me: one day, you need to take a photo of your hand in the shower. the sun will begin to set and the rays will stream through the rectangular bathroom windows, and it will be beautiful. it ran through my mind for the rest of the shower, and once i got out, i completely forgot about it. i think this cycle went on for about two weeks, until one saturday, before my youth fellowship, i remembered before i got in the shower and seized my opportunity. i think it's the most dangerous thing i've ever done with my camera. and i'm not one to put my electronics in a situation where their working ability is compromised (that sounded so official). i just wanted to do something a bit... i don't know. i like to think i'm daring. i like to think this photo represents cleansing in a way. water cascading down the palm of my hand, erasing all prominent failure, telling me i can try again tomorrow. whether this is your view of daring or not, i just feel proud of this moment. i feel like i should keep trying, keep doing.
happiest wednesday to you guys.
-kiss kiss kiss, stuck in her daydream-
THAT IS GORGEOUS. you're so flippin' talented.
ReplyDeleteEd Sheeran.. I like yo style! And how you manage to make your hand look good.. I don't know(mine are so awk).
ReplyDeleteI have to say, girl. You are pretty dang fantastic. This picture is awesome. :)
ReplyDelete...been this way since eighteen, but lately...
ReplyDelete::bursts and screeches out in sooong...:: HER FACE SEEMS SLOWLY SINKING, WASTING, CRUMBLING LIKE PASTRIEEEES!"
Delete...and they scream, the worst things in life come free to us... ;)
Delete'Cause we're just under the upper hand, and go mad for a couple grams...
DeleteIt's too cooooold outside.. for angels to flllllyy!
Deletelady, this is what i love most about you - your boldness. beautiful, beautiful post.
ReplyDeleteokay, you are so flippin' cool. I would be scared to death to do that to my camera, it also helps that it's actually my dad's camera. :P but, your hands are very artistic too! ;)
ReplyDeletei like your outcome a lot. but i don't know if i would've even taken that risk with my camera. good job & kudos to you ;) xo
ReplyDeletei cannot tell you how much i am in love with this picture. it's stellar. great job jocee. i think it was quite daring. ☺
ReplyDeleteLove this! You are so bold and daring, I don't know if I could've put my camera in such dangers way. ;) But you captured a beautiful image.
ReplyDeleteBig hugs, xxx-Kelsey
This is lovely :) You are daring! I was having a minor heart attack when I went on holiday and was trying to get good photos of the sea ;)
ReplyDeleteKimmy x
Love this.
ReplyDeleteQuite daring indeed.
<3
how do you come up with so freaking good ideas?!
ReplyDeleteThis Jocee, this is why you are so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteOh, and I agree 100% with the i'm not one to put my electronics in a situation where their working ability is compromised bit. I'm just that way too. Many times I've had fairly similar thoughts on great photographs, and backed out due to putting my beloved Camryn in harm's way.
okk this is way way weird. today i was in the shower and the light from the tiny window looked just perfect and made the water all sparkly and shimmery and i was all like dude i totally wanna take a picture of this. then i felt that that would just be weird. but now i;m beginning to rethink this all ;) xx
ReplyDeletei love this. things like that always happen to me. i have an idea. I forget it and then like four months later I finally make it happen!
ReplyDeletei love that you cherish those small moments that mean so much but not to many.
ReplyDeleteI love this!! Way to go, Jocelyn :).
ReplyDeletejocee, this is just what i needed to hear. thank you so much.
ReplyDeleteWhoa... you are daring! But the picture was worth the risk. :)
ReplyDeletegod i love this. :)
ReplyDeleteThis was so amazingly raw, beautiful and YOU!
ReplyDeleteI might try this someday...see how daring I can be :)
oh yes :) this is such a brave yet wonderful idea, love this post x
