australian heart

 

~heartache~

there is something that happens to me every so often that I cannot explain

i can only describe it as heartache

it occurs when I stumble across an image, or a collection of images that touch me in a deep way

something in me shifts, and I am never going to be the same again

yes, this is a bit heavy, and perhaps it is a totally ridiculous way to describe a reaction to a photograph

however, fine art has always evoked deep emotion in people

which is why so many professional artists have managed to make a living by creating interesting, beautiful, even sometimes disturbing works in the name of art.

it is our emotional reaction to these works that give us fuel and a hunger for more.

thanks to a fantastic spread from Australian Vogue, and featuring Rosie Tupper, i am seeing the world a tiny bit differently this evening
