   I think this photo belongs in a new genre, to be called 'Neurological Meltdowns,' or 'Scenes of Impending Death' – that is, I'm experiencing something of the sort with this photo.

   Be careful how you wield that Lensbaby!

   AJ and Amy,

   I have taken som many of this iconic type image of a bridge, or path toward something. I see this place as a positive place, a new possibility. I especially like the tree with the bright light background. Feel like I am going into the morning…

   Its cool when an image, iconic or cliche or otherwise, can generate that range of reaction. Thanks for the post Kim!

   Same here… I immediately felt hopeful and excited when I looked at this image.

   I love all of your comments about this image and feel the same way. I too see it as positive… maybe life as a continuous, sometimes uphill, journey but beautiful and always rewarding.

   I agree, getting a reaction and creating something provocative is a GOOD thing, so to me this works as a photo, even if I can't look at it for more than a fraction of a second.

   I love that photography is capable of eliciting so many kinds of responses. We can't control the reactions of others, but how much do we photographers limit which of our own feelings we allow to show up in our pictures? No right or wrong there, I think.

   That said, I want more than daisies and babies from you Alec
