Suddenly, 

all at once,

she knows,

knows that he doesn’t 

understand her,

that he never will,

Marguerite Duras, The Lover

 

For this particular set that David and I created together, I desired to be captured in my most natural form, free from nearly all cosmetic constraint.  Although this aspect was indeed very liberating, I had been unexpectedly perplexed with an onset of emotions during the culmination of these photographs.  Happiness, sadness, unease, and revelation all accompanied me during the creation process, much to my dismay.  I have been plagued with a longing that I can never quite satiate.  This feeling encompasses me like the ghost of a long-lost lover, and she is so much a part of me-- all at once disturbing and comforting-- that I can't quite let her go.  Regardless of bouts of fluctuating temperament (and perhaps empowered by them), I am pleased beyond words at the end result.  Behold, Leanna and her ghosts.
