Artist's Comments

I did my best, it wasn't much
I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch
I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool you
And even though
It all went wrong
I'll stand before the Lord of Song
With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah
- Leonard Cohen

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Taken on an RZ67 Medium Format Camera with Ilford Pan100.
Submitted for a self-portrait assignment at uni.

This piece is a response to both external and internal homophobia.
Feel free to offer critique or ask any questions (on the original).

Fantastic work and great idea!!
People have to learn to not let them be guided by labels. The person counts!

Take care,

Wonderful! I have so many people you hate me, think of me as weird, etc. But I'm a Christian, I just happened to fall for someone of the same gender. I don't God will damn you to hell because you love someone. But if you're doing it just for the sex... that's a little differant to me. But I still don't think he'll damn you to hell just like that.

Very good, I'm gonna fav it. ^_^

Hey. Thanks so much! I totally agree with you. The whole 'issue' gets blown way out of proportion. I mean Christ made it pretty clear: Love above all else.

It's great to see a fellow Chistian on dAPride! :blowkiss:

I can't see what you see, and you can't see what I see. Hence: Photography.
