Just had wondered if the title was derived from heraldry termonology, that's all. "Sinister" means left. Since the swan was in an unusual pose facing left, just considered you might be into heraldry.

Keep it up Emma.
Rohan, oh Rohan, how I love your prose, your passion.
Not in to heraldry at all. The swan was just one of those lucky things. I took my parents out boating one afternoon and then the swan came along too! The rest as they say is history. It took about 20 minutes to get that close without spooking him off. :)
When DIMOND'S get cut tight,
They refelect more than just light;
When the VISION is broad,
The understanding become's easy;
When the THINKING is right,
The action-before glow's bright;
When the HEART is clean and plain,
The wrong will never rain;
When LOVE is strong,
There will be no wrong;
When the EMOTION is tamed,
Then life is truly framed;
When PERSONALITIES show,
Relationship's grow;

Thanks Wen@, I am glad humaness is not yet lost in humans and life is more that just a living or seeing things our way.
Its understandable that not every one can see what others see in little things that have a strong msg and the prespective that often misjudged.
However I accept critism to grow and learn, I see simple things in life that their joy is priceless be it a picture or a simple word from any. I live with my dream and my heart sings the song of joy in what i see.
I understand Ruud and his concern in regards to the site and the rules and regulations, However I guess that the lines drawn by the site need to be mindful or the effect on a simple person like me who wants to learn and haveing a great feeling or the joy of my soul with a pictures which i know not the technical rules of as i am not a pro, and want to express how i see the picture or what i feel is just a gesture of a human prespective that would convey a content feeling to the photograper and encourage him/her to look at things in the simple form and see the joy of live in even a picture.
I have almost learnt this kind ot seeing things in a low profile that makes me a person and not a pro photograper.
we all have our own and we all see things our way,. Missing that needs to be said or seen is what not most realise to make things better or even a simple dum word that say it all in one go to lift someones spirit and make a difference.
Designed by God is one of those pictures that is personally connected to my life and every individual who can see something in even nothingness to learn that life is more that just the show biz or being the best. My soul is what matters to me what I see is life to me, What i real between the line is what makes me grow, what others see is accepted and make me look at life the other way to be able to explain things to my soul that are more than just words, pictures, or even a expresssion that most othes dont see or know.
Well that all that, I hope and pray everything is well with you, I enjoy your way of art that is breathtaking and teaches me more that the picture it self. I feel the real beauty that flows from inside of a person and who best but you who can express it right is more than a blessing to me.
God Bless you and keep you. with all due respect and regards.
Hi Robert,
Thanks for the comments. Really appreciate it. Yes, Pale Series intentionally is done bad according to traditional considerations of photography. It's rebellion of convention. They didn't start out that way, they have been highly processed and pushed to extremes of contrast, exposure, well, just extreme in a lot of ways in an examination of my emotions. The series was originally done as a cathartic process of art therapy for myself alone, a self analysis of my feelings about the perceptions of my life, insecurities. Some people see them shallowly as sexual pictures, honestly for me they have nothing to do with sex. They are about the release of pain, suffering, the acceptance of reality and resurrection and growth. They are about a woman coming up on 40 and finding that beauty is not the only definition of womanhood, and that men make women bold. The idea came to me when an internet admirer seeing a picture of me from 15 years ago, before I had really lived a life of challenge. I guess Pale Series is depiction of inner struggle, and survival, which eventually everyone comes to. As an artist, how can I ask someone else to put themselves outside before I've done it myself?
Oh John, how you wax on so. You spotted me out there did you? I don't hold possession of those works so I can't show them. I wouldn't call them works of art, just commercial illustrations.I'm sure just about everyone that has gone into a hardware, department, backyard/garden store or cooking tradeshows has walked by my work, maybe some that own the products have seen my work in manuals. By no means can I compare to some of the exceptional photographers here. I so hope you take advice of your biggest fan and author a book on your adventures of the Outback and elsewhere.
Hello Wendy, time for an upgrade to your profile.
I always regarded you as a gem.
However after that long sweet message, an upgrade is necessary!!!
You are a megastar, artist and professional photographer on top of all that.
I have also seen your work, advertising for a large chain of department stores in the U.S.
For you, not one, but three flowers.
Outback John.
