 This is an image completely unrelated to this song... but while I was listening to it thisevening the idea struck me... it may be a on the opposite pole to my first day image... but variety is the spice of life...

This image was orinally taken in the shoot we did for my Feb Free Study...

Here's a shot from after the shoot :P... it was a lot of fun!


Anyhows...


Virtue to Vice
These secrets I’ll bring to you
Are of thorns and ice

Hush….
Don’t tell them nothing, not a word
Hush…
Don’t tell them nothing, not a single thing that I’ve said to you

Hear all my secrets
Tell all the lies
Hear all my secrets
Tell all the fucking lies!

Can you hear it scream?
Deep deep inside

Hush…
Now listen carefully, here it comes
Hush…
It’s what I keep inside, this is the crime that I’ve tried to hide

Hear all my secrets
Tell all the lies
Hear all my secrets
Tell all the fucking lies!

Can you hear it scream?
Deep deep inside

Envy...Sloth...Gluttony...Wrath...Pride...Lust...Greed

These secrets I’ll bring to you
Are of thorns and ice
These secrets I’ll give to you
Will turn virtue to vice

These secrets I’ll bring to you
(These secrets I’ll bring to you)
Are of thorns and ice
(Are of thorns and ice)
These secrets I’ll give to you
(These secrets I’ll give to you)
Will turn virtue to vice
(Will turn virtue to vice!)

Can you hear it scream?
Deep deep inside

I’ll tell you only once…

The processing on this image is great, its very well composed. The whole thing is a bit scary to me imo, but fits really well in with the song lyrics. Great conveying of emotion as well.

Extremely intense and dramatic photo as is the verse. Like the crop a lot, and the processing is unique and powerful.

Maybe not so much creepy as desperate. Lots of intriguing small details once you really start to look. Very well put together.

well .. to me this image totally goes with the lyrics ..
as with any image or song ppl interpret it differently ..
this image .. so sad .. so powerful .. so depressing ..
just shouts out some form of substance abuse .. the toilet just adds to it .. and any drug can turn a saint into a sinner ..
so even tho you dont think the image fits .. I DO .. :)

This is an intense photo. Creeps me out which I am assuming you wanted the viewer to feel something. You succeeded.

round and round

life is a colorful carousel
reckless and terribly gay

I have no idea why those lyrics from a song from the Fantasticks came to mind, but they did. I'm so happy to have you as part of our group!

Powerful imagery. The bright, washed out gritty look is effective here and an interest contrast to a more traditional dark look.

You've got to get out of the bathroom, Dylan!!!!! Oh, and duct tape??? No thanks. LOL I'm putting here AND the other thread. ;~)

Powerful, POWERFUL image. Love your thought process on this one.

My thinking is that because of the subject matter it would have been better to be a darker rather than lighter image ... just my humble thoughts - GRIN!

Wow, you really committed to the shot and got it! It's such a strong photo that brings out many emotions. The first thing I thought of was it reminded me of one of my fav movies, V for Vendetta. Nicely done!

I don't really get how it relates to the title but that is likely my own lack of life-experience. OTOH, it is a powerful shot and I like the hi-key and texture, the gritty look is all there.
