Red strength

Filed under: My Photos, Self Portraits - shutterstruck @ 2:18 pm

Why is it considered "manly" to be angry, but people will think less of a man if he expresses fear, doubt, or other "weak" emotions?  I don’t feel safe letting people know how I feel inside, because I don’t want to be perceived as weak.  But I can show my strength.  And then I can hide everything else behind that.

  6. Wonderful photo!
    Is the red glow from lighting or post-photo editing? Either way, it’s a great take on the theme.

  7. Great portrayal of you in this one: inner and outer self revealed, glowing with warmth.

  8. Warmth and fiery passion? Not a bit of anger. And totally defined. Very nice.
