Description Nothing better... Than a new suit..

Like autumn leaves his sense fell from him
An empty glass of himself shattered somewhere within
His thoughts like a hundred moths
Trapped in a lampshade
Somewhere within
Their wings banging and burning
On through endless night
Forever awake he lies shaking and starving
Praying for someone to turn off the light

- Born of a broken man, Rage Against the machine

TheComforter In reply to ??? [2007-10-21 09:06:02 +0000 UTC]

I love this picture. I'm sure he longs for so much more. Not just a suit but the idealized life behind the suit. An life of luxuries and loved ones instead of being alone and worried about where your next meal will come from. It speaks to my heart and my passion for the suffering. Thank you for this picture, it made me cry (very unmanly, I know).

divmang In reply to ??? [2007-10-18 13:30:14 +0000 UTC]

I think this is another story of disapointment with life and society itself. And sometimes, once in that path, it is very hard to turn back.

Great shot, it definitely was worth the wait.

I come back to this photograph often-- This is truely your best peice Obsidian... -- my story of this; is that the old man.. is looking back into his past... the young clothed mannequin gives that notion... it is just incredible.

JudgementOfMan In reply to ??? [2007-10-09 18:43:28 +0000 UTC]

Amazing picture - great use of light and dark, especially with the silvery glow of his beard. The man is definitely the focus of the picture, as is the emotion in his face, rather than what's in the window behind him.

Great work Definitely deserves a fav!
