Shine on You, crazy diamond Photo

Photographer’s Note

Remember when you were young, you shone like the sun.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Now there's a look in your eyes, like black holes in the sky.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
You were caught on the crossfire of childhood and stardom,
blown on the steel breeze.
Come on you target for faraway laughter,
come on you stranger, you legend, you martyr, and shine!
You reached for the secret too soon, you cried for the moon.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Threatened by shadows at night, and exposed in the light.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Well you wore out your welcome with random precision,
rode on the steel breeze.
Come on you raver, you seer of visions,
come on you painter, you piper, you prisoner, and shine!

Only the other day i was going through "Inside Out" - which is a gold mine of stories and scrapbook material..never seen before..

There can never be another dark side of the moon Agn..no matter how hard they try..the likes of coldplays..other alternative soft rocks groups..artists...

odpusc sobie z tymi cytatami z klasykow...

ogarnij tresc - a tresc tu jest, nie ma potrzeby sie wspierac jakimis cytatami z flojdow...

jest cudowna ta twoja seria njujorkowa, uliczna, taka jest zimno-ceglasto-liryczna-inaczej...

kolory - sa bardzo bardzo wazne w niej...

Hi Agnieszka,
how did you get this effect? Is it a glittering costume ? Besides this, this Pink Floyd album was one of the first I bought in my life.. :)
man I was young then..
Hugs, Chris

Hi Agni, this series of yours is full of surprise and spontaneity. Full of movement and gritty ghouls. Full of dancing devils and delightful demons that have descended upon the dark hour. In fact, each and every shot is a magnificent capture of the madness and the morose of mankind! 40 winks of sleep, or 40 hours without.. a lesson in perfect timing and composition throughout. I am glad you stayed awake :)

Best wishes, casper
