Those pictures came straight from the heart

This photos evoke the beauty of melancholy and the calmness of silence. mesmerizing.
touching!
Because of how raw and intimate this photostory is, it should definitely win. You did a really good job, Caroline.
There is enormous trust between you and your people. You have evoked the core essence and inner beauty. You have respect for your gift and are true to it, and make poetry with it. I’d love a portrait by you.
Great job!
Congratulations! I am glad to hear that you are having a best seller. Kiss
Very nice Gz!
My friend is beautiful and very talented
uumm… very candid and a collection of “lost” photographs.
no sense of direction and neither evokes any feeling.
Pic # 2,3,10 are good… whats with the toddler?
I don’t know. Just doesn’t work for me. The ’shot through misty glass’ effect really stops me getting involved and gave me a headache and the baby - what’s going on there? Generally we cannot equate kids of that age with melancholy and sadness unless we know that the child came from that background. Doesn’t get my vote.
I appreciate all comments. Most of these pictures are polaroids and have no intention to be anything else other than Polaroids. The reason I posted a picture of my daughter is because i can see in her, as in all children, something pure, there is nothing purer and silent than a child’s gaze in my opinion (and not sadness, the title doesn’t mention sadness but silence , which are quite different things). Even though Melancholia means sadness, it’s something that lingers for longer, some people are just more melancholic than others, doesn’t mean they are sad, but they just have something in their eyes that takes you to another time.
I enjoyed the poignancy of the images; the grainy aesthetic of each picture complemented its raw depth.
Awesome pictures, as always…rs
Carol you are a great Photographer! I’m so proud of you baby!
