Portrait Contests: Men | Of Dreams and Nightmares
Dream? 
Or Nightmare?
I collect faces as if they were sweet metaphysical breadcrumbs
Artistic avarice: I become fat with their images along the way
Yet still it is not enough simply to divine out their souls for presentation
I must constantly transcend the growing amalgam of identity
Push away the ego as if it were a salivating lover trying to lick my ear
Should I be forced to continue to exist as an object?
Very well then I choose to be symbols of my own machination
Living inside organisms of meaning as a cold hunter sheltered in the bleeding guts of a bear
My momentum is slimly, slow, but it oozes into every crack and crevice
Shall I be lucifer? It depends on how you define rebellion
Should I settle one day, like a bee to a flower?
Again, it depends on how much there is to suck out

Entry into @jasonrussell's portrait contest - theme:men. The judge this round is @daniphotography!
DAMN, those photos and that caption, nothing short of evocative. It's been awhile since I've managed to feel an emotional reaction from a post/photo, thank you for the share (:
Hi Cuddle Pots. I'm glad you appreciate the symmetry that I tried to create with this lil' compilation here. What really scratches my itch however, is the finger of emotion that you say was lifted from it's slumber upon arriving at this article. Thank you for popping round, there's plenty more where that came from.
Yeah, I'm definitely following, looking forward to more of your work!
