All The Kings Horses ...

My son says thats cool but one broke. I think he is destined to be an art critic.

 

I will save my thoughts on this one as they are morbid and down, very down.

 

Knicki

It's Ok Knicki ...... The feelings which prompted me to conceive this image are in the past for now. I turned a down period in my life into a creative outlet - into an image to express how I felt at the time. Turned a negative into a positive ..... (-;

 

And of course the Egggs are not PS'd -- the faces were carved out by hand with a hand tool.

wow! Ken, I don't which impresses me more this image or your hand carving skills with fragile eggs ;-). I do respect the serious tones behind this image as well even if a bit cracked.

i have to admit you're more consistent in your work than i ever be (my inglis cracked). ... this might be one of your best egg shots -- all the triangles & rectangles play beautifully on my screen. whaaaaaaaaat's up, brother.

Maria I was just thinking about you a minute ago - seriously ! ..... Being a big admirer of your B&W work I was wondering what you might think of this. So glad you like it ....

 

Kristin you are a very insightful lady -- it shows in your work and your comments - thank you .

i like it. disregarding a cool idea, i love the photographic work here -- it's well done (maybe you could've taken care of that tilt better but i buy it with the tilt cause it reinforces the impression of the ominous falling of the other crack head). a successful shot, how bout this for a critique. each time i come to you, i miss Lou's hoarsing around.

And of course the slant is no accident -- my life was very 'skewed' at that time and needed a way to convey that ....

 

I always wonder if my horsing around annoys you so I tend to stay away out of respect - but I always have an eye on you.

 

Lou ...... I still think of him often.

niters, Ken.

Wow Ken, two on the first page. Awesome! ;-)

Good job.

Hi Ken, you have done a creative and originaly photo, best regards allan.

Agreeing with Allan.

 

.....more to come here a little later.

"Have fun -- Someone recite the rhyme for me ...... (-;

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall,

Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.

All the king's horses,

And all the king's men,

Couldn't put Humpty together again.

All credit goes to: www.enchantedlearning.com/

Please keep in mind that these particular Nursery Rhymes are a novelty to me (and hence the need to recite it). I didn't meet Humpty, et al... until I came to Australia, at the age of 20.

Shattered Hopes, fallen dreams, lost love. :(

"Preparation for Halloween or broken hopes". LOL:)) Nice work Ken.

Great light. Wonderful image... Dave

the shelf is leaning. so the remaining shell didnt push the first one, hmm but who is pushing the shelf?

be right back ....

You have done it again my friend. Great to see you are still up to your old and wonderful artistic pleasures.

I can't even find the time to read all the above comments, but this truely is wonderful Ken!

And you caught my ex-wife's laugh on top of everything else.

 

I'm still on the floor six years later, by the way. Hard to walk away from some disasters.

Kenster, this will bring luck....... realy

I was thinking along the same lines as everyone else - broken dreams. Or how about a crushed ego?

 

To me, the one on the shelf looks more concerned than laughing at the other egg. Like he's lost his best friend to a freak accident. Or how about this one - Deseggnated Diver? (I'm competing for the Giant Groan award of the day!).

Kim totally wins the groan award for the day!!!

 

Ken, this image is great, but depressing. It makes me sad for where you were when you made this ... although I am well aware that we all have down times and have to work through them in our own ways. It's just so difficult to watch a friend work through their own stuff knowing that you can't take it away for them...........

 

Okay ... too much philosophizing, huh?

 

I miss Lou, too........

Now Lou Ann I staged them Eggg shells and I want your opinion ! .......... lol .......... ...... If the image is depressing then I conveyed that emotion - cool - that was the idea ..... sol

 

Kim - Diver ? Muff ? ... ?

 

Possum - thank you for the recital - yes ...

 

Thank you Dave - that means alot coming from you .

 

Allan and Stew - thank you ...

 

Bente - your comments and observations are some of the best on PN - looking forward to that ... jaaa

 

Erin - right on ....

 

Knicki - 'life' is pushing the antique soda case - and sometimes we help it a bit thru our choices and decisions .... yes

 

Igor - exactly - these are left overs from my Eggg pumkin shots from last Halloween ..... (-;

 

Jennifer, Thomas and Lannie - thank you very much for taking the time ...

 

Els - that would be nice - would like to see the pendulum swing the other way for awhile .... thanks.

The good thing about low points is when they finally go away... I like this composition for the story it tells even if sad for we all have those times in some degree.
