The Curse of the Reader IIThere is a curse that befalls all avid readers, as opposed to spectators. It is the utter affectation of a reader for the fictional world described, and their inability to keep their free will when surrounded by the unavoidable destinies of the characters.

What is viewed on stage or on a screen is separated from the spectator by various barriers. The limitations of our eyes, for example: the spectator has to blink, and can be made aware of this. They might feel tired or be straining their eyes and so want to shut them, blocking out the sight of the action. There is the physical distance between the spectator and the action, as they are separ
The Curse of the ReaderThere is a curse that befalls all avid readers, as opposed to spectators. What is viewed on stage or on a screen is separated from us by various barriers: the limitations of our eyes, the physical distance between oneself and the action, the frame around the stage or screen… and therefore can be disassociated from oneself.

Disassociating oneself is far more difficult, however, when the action is occurring inside one’s own imagination. Distance and distraction originating in things such as accents, dress, physical appearance or the knowledge that behind the character is an actor do not occur for the reader, and the action infiltrate

A different kind of rain...

Model: the sweet *marshmallow-pies
Photography, post processing and everything else: me

From a shoot April 2008. Still digging through my archives instead of revising...

The umbrella was so colourful (and is now broken!) I just had to use the shot. And I know that as myself and the model are both plagued by work and stress and other worries at the moment, this concept came to me and seemed appropriate.

EDIT: Removed blur, which I hope will solve the quality problem when viewing it on here... anyway enjoy!
Postprocessing done in PhotoScape and Gimp (which I'm definitely using with more ease now!)

This is my submission for *iLovePhotographyClub :iconilovephotographyclub: Rain contest!
