Kylie Greenan Photography
the message...
Posted by Kylie Greenan (Hunters Hill, Australia) on 3 November 2008 in People & Portrait.
She checks her phone, how long has it been?..
"is there a message I haven't seen"?
She waits for him, he does not know,
"one more moment before I go".
She hears the tone, heart skips a beat,
her smile widens, they arrange to meet...
and bonds are formed and friendships made
from the message that you sent that day.

Next Challenge... "MY Special Place" Friday 7th November. Maybe it is the place you live, a room you love, a place you go... somewhere you love to be, a place that is "your space" that means something to you. (No toilets please :o)
Please also let me know any ideas you might have for future challenge topics.
"Mon endroit préféré" le vendredi 7 novembre
Cela peut être l'endroit où vous vivez, une pièce que vous aimez,un endroit où vous allez ,quelque part où vous aimez être...un endroit qui est "votre endroit" ,qui signifie quelque chose pour vous ".
Thank you Marie-Hélène for the help with the translation :o)

A powerful post-processing, almost infrared on the background.... it adds a lot to the picture, very intimate portrait somehow.

Once again my friend you have brought a tear to my eye...in a lovely way:-). I love how you capture these moments in time!

Bill from Belton, United States
Kylie, this photo, as so much of your work, goes way beyond the technical aspects of photography. You have the technical nailed! You manage to bring charm, beauty and sometimes mystery to each of your images. Each somehow touches individuals as the subject applies to their own lives. And always with grace and beauty. I am always at a loss for words when I attempt to comment. My reaction usually is "feelings" rather than words and for me feelings are hard to define and express.
3 Nov 2008 5:57pm
@Bill: Bill, thank you with all my heart, this is the most beatuiful comment you have left for me and I am so very touched, thank you so so much my friend!

I think Bill says it so well It is so hard to put into words the feeling that your photos and poems bring out in me. I am constantly amazed by your talent. This is a STUNNER both photo and verse. You are so clever

@jamesy: Thank you so much Deb, I always love reading your comments and appreciate them very much. Thanks for looking after Liners last night, you're a sweetie :o)

This is a beautiful creation, Kylie. Her pose is excellent, and I like that she is on a swing. Usually there are people on subways checking for those kinds of messages. Very romantic.

I like the way you have worked the tonal range, and the wind blowing the hair is a fantastic touch. A poignant and clever image.
