"It's just so....sad"

I think I may have managed to get my extra GPA point in photography this term. My metaphorical self-portrait managed to get quite a response from my instructor and classmates. Some said it was a broken childhood, others said it was merely a favorite worn object from the past, nothing more. What do you think?

I'm not sure, either. I threw it together in 30 seconds on my way out the door the morning the project was due. On a whim I decided I wasn't comfortable with the 200 other photos I had shot, and just had to try one more thing. Maybe that is what makes art an expression, seperate from logic and thoughts.

I think this says a lot about the photographers "eye". The dark background and the lighting is what makes this shot and you were able to see that quickly when others would have to search harder. It's what puts us with the "eye" in a class above the wannabe's.
