Photographer’s Note
Never stop the car on a drive in the dark
Never look for the truth in your mother's eyes
Never trust the sound of rain upon a river rushing through your ears
Arriving somewhere but not here
Did you imagine the final sound as a gun?
Or the shattered windows of a car?
Did you ever imagine the last thing you'd hear as you're fading out was a song?
Arriving somewhere but not here
All my designs simplified
And all of my plans compromised
All of my dreams sacrificed
Arriving somewhere but not here
Ever had the feeling you've been here before?
Drinking down the poison the way you were taught
Every thought from here on in your life begins and all you knew was wrong?
Arriving somewhere but not here
Did you see the red mist block your path?
Did the scissors cut a way to your heart?
Did you feel the envy for the sons of mothers tearing you apart?

post-processing
I have converted original (color) photo to sepia in ACDSee. Than in PS7 I’ve changed hue (+180) to gain blue effect, cropped lower grass, used curves to change exposure, than some sharpen filter and slight blur brush on the sky to remove noise.

Zdravo Sasa,
Cija je ovo pesma? Jako si dobro uslikao atmosferu koja prevladava u toj pesmi. Stvarno mi se dopalo. Strava... maki
