Day 89 – Reachin’ out

Black and White / Lyrics / People / Self Portrait / 10 Comments / 29/03/2016

“Hands, touchin’ hands
Reachin’ out, touchin’ me, touchin’ you”
~ Sweet Caroline by Neil Diamond

This is a self portrait I took and then edited in Topaz Fusion Lens Effect as well as working on the light and contrast to give my hands a dark gnarly look. I know it is probably a bit sinister and spooky to go with this ‘sweet’ song but I rather like that contrast and the suggestion that the lyrics of this song could have another meaning.

This is spooky, but there’s something spooky-beautiful about this shot that makes me stop and look on.

Soooooo INTERESTING! I’m looking at it trying to decide what emotion it evokes for me. For certain, it gives a new perspective on the lyrics which I find very intriguing. Thanks for sharing at Song-ography.
