Artist's Comments

"If you knew that you would die today,
Saw the face of God and love,
Would you change?
Would you change?

If you knew that love can break your heart
When you're down so low you cannot fall
Would you change?
Would you change?

How bad, how good does it need to get?
How many losses? How much regret?
What chain reaction would cause an effect?
Makes you turn around,
Makes you try to explain,
Makes you forgive and forget,
Makes you change?
Makes you change?

Are you so upright you can't be bent?
If it comes to blows are you so sure you won't be crawling?
If not for the good, why risk falling?
Why risk falling?"

Tracy Chapman - Change

-------------------------------------
This is my second entry to :iconkaremelancholia:'s "Peace" contest (More info here ---> [link])

If you've ever seen the music video to this (absolutely, amazing, inspiring song), you'll know that (the absolutely, amazing, inspiring) Tracy Chapman begins by busking in the street - Singing this song. And it just made me think. Of this.
"I don't want money.. Just change."
Dunno why it made me think that xD. I think it was because in the video, people were just giving her the money and then kept on walking, few were actually listening to the words.. And maybe that's what we do in life. We should pay more attention to what people are saying and doing, rather than just giving them the money and carrying on, happy in the knowledge we've "done our bit" (Which we have, I'm definitely not saying to not give money to charity or anything btw o.O.)

Mhmm.

-------------------------------------

I'm actually a little annoyed with this picture. I've recently sold my camera (The one I took this with) and I thought I had more time to take these pictures, but I didn't, the person's picking it up tomorrow. So I had to quickly do this in under 10 minutes, just a few seconds walk from my house. And it's really not how I wanted it to turn out. But me being the irritating perfectionist I am, I doubt I'd ever be happy with it. Pshaw.

Didn't do much in Photoshop.. Added a light vignette, mucked around with the perspective, added a few filters and a sepia tone, then a border. Yup.

*EDIT* Cropped the picture some more, added a little more sepia, distorted the perspective some and changed the light vignette to a dark one ^^

Model; Claire (Little sister xD)
Photographer/Editing; Me.
Claire's Feet; New Rocks xD (And you can see the steel toe coming off the left one. Yuup.)

One thing.. I love it.. just that she/you shouldn't be smiling. Doesn't fit with the words and the whole atmosphere of the picture.

Apart from that I love it :)

Thank you sweet =).
And I know what you mean. I actually changed it about half hour ago, and cropped it more so you couldn't see her smile (And it was more how I originally imagined it), and I'm trying to upload it now, but dA won't lemme =/.
Think my internet keeps disconnecting itself halfway through.. xD.
New one'll probably be up soon ^^.
Thanks again. And thank you for the :+fav:! :heart:
