Shadows

Sometimes you take a picture of yourself.
When you take it you might not have a special idea in your mind, you just get close to the window or to any light source you might find suitable at that moment. Probably you watch into the lens and wait for the click.
You might experience a little pressure in your eyes so you may close them a bit. You try to focus a point that seams on the camera but feels in your head. Your mouth is maybe still, but full of tension.

Only when it's time for the lightroom work you start noticing some feelings. You experience them stronger now than during the shot. It's hinting you to something but it's not clear. You want to know more.

Then other people watch it. They see every kind of things in that face, but some of these ideas come back more often than others and you recognize them because they hit to the heart. You feel naked.

The shadows shrink a bit, the highlights turn into details. A wrinkle shows and expression. An expression screams pain.

Why do we need to speak?
