Ah, such joys...

Thu May 10, 2007, 10:17 AM
If I take a picture of my home as my creation, how does it come close to capturing the joy and comfort that is felt by being "at home."

The concept of home is a nebulous one at best, with everyone's varied experience, memory, and emotion crafting to each their own image of what home is. Do you feel at home by yourself, with your family, with your friends/extended family... what about being at home in your own skin?

My home is whatever gives me that level of comfort and emotional relaxation to just be, no need for anything else at that moment. Classified by location it generally occurs in one of the abodes of my family/close friends (hopefully my own abode will soon qualify as well) and can generally be associated with smells as well. Not necessarily the American idiom of "warm apple pie" but baking goods do lend a hand towards hominess, cooking in general brings good smells (burning=no good), and fresh laundry too. Pine is a good smell as well, though that probably reveals my penchant for the NW US.

That's all for now, time for me to get back to work. Hopefully I can visit dA more now, so feel free to comment and I will reply.

...in reply to sibea

*nods* No prob, weapons can take on a beauty of their own when in the "right" hands. Beautiful people handling them, a good photographer capturing the "moment" and there's lovely art made. Art created, made from an object meant for destruction. Nicely symbolic, sorta yin-yang if you will.

Fun to watch, glad I could provide feedback that was helpful (I aim not to annoy too much, but its fun to share ideas), and I look forward to seeing your future creations.
