A Denial

with the lights out
it's less dangerous
i feel stupid and contagious
here we are now, entertain us, yeah
a mulatto, an albino
a mosquito, my libido

a denial
a denial
a denial
a denial.... 
yeah, a denial

- Smells Like Teen Spirit cover by Tori Amos, originally by Nirvana

Here is another rather personal set of photos; Inspired actually by the original version of this song, however I edited them to Amos' cover, which is much quieter... it's loud in it's own way. Haunting and intriguing. A feminine, delicate touch. While the original is much angrier (and trust me I enjoy that), this version seems more intimate.

These are my representation of ignoring my intuition. A denial. Pushing it away. Not wanting to come to terms with reality. I recently had had this feeling of sheer dread way back in my mind, and soon it nestled into the pit of my stomach. And, as I was afraid, I was right, and it all came out with my tears. Now comes the part of acceptance. But of course I had to photograph this part of the journey first. 

This is Suzy. And this was her first shoot ever. I'm so impressed. I always really enjoy connecting with my models, and I'm pleased to have shot this with her.
