i love the message in this image lisa ...
to me its not only our physical death that prevents living (well living in this dimension anyway), but so many ppl die inside and their lives are like a living death .. so much sadness in this world ..
the message in this image for me, is to live our lives to the full, to truly appreciate our time here, which will be over in the blink of an eye .. dont take any of the ppl you love for granted .. support and nourish one and other .. find your passion and then live it .. develop all the wonderful gifts that god has given you .. be kind to one and other .. SMILE!!! ... a smile is like a gift ... one of those wonderful gifts that you still have even after you'v given it away ...
this is not one of my favourite photographs of yours, but i opened it up while looking thru your portfolio for our harajuku girls task, and thought i'd make a comment anyway ... it may not be a fav, but its still an excellent imgage !!
