GHOST STORIES

“Being a ghost must feel like drowning all the time: All you ever do is look up to the sky, forgetting you have anchors.“ - Sean Glatch

The 1st photograph w/the black-veiled woman (which has had the copyright/credit cropped off, and the image manipulated to sepia tone), is a one I (Kambriel) took as a still during our fashion video shoot for “Spine”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JvnYbQeONOY & the original photo can be found here: http://kambriel.tumblr.com/post/68108022629/kambrielfashionfilm

Many people think these digital “aesthetic collages” which are so rampant on Tumblr look very witchy/cool, but when they are done in such a way as this which removes all artist credits, copyrights, and attributions, they are harmful (not to mention inconsiderate, and often copyright violations) to all of the artists work being anonymously shared as it creates yet more copies of their work that get reblogged & shared online with no credit whatsoever (or sometimes other people even take the opportunity to credit *themselves* as the “source” of the work ~ I’ve had this happen several times. And no, adding a quote to a “cool” reblogged photo/s does not make one the source for that image). It also prevents any chances those artists have at being contacted for future collaborations, commissions, publications, etc…  I had the above photo published in the book ”Ode to Color” by Lori Weitzner, thanks to the author & publisher (Harper Design) who found it *with* proper credits attached, but these unattributed “aesthetic collages” do not help support artists one bit and to the contrary hurt artists via missed opportunities. If you like something enough to share, maybe like it enough to also take a moment to find the actual creator/source and give the artists credit too. 

I’ve known artists who couldn’t pay studio rent while their (uncredited) photos were getting 100,000’s of likes & reblogs. Please don’t feed into that by reblogging work that’s had all the credits cropped off/omitted unless you can find/add credit back to the original source.

Covenant - I Close My Eyes

In the daze of confusion
In the glare of the glow
When the demon comes unbound
I dive under drowning out the sound
In the noise of the silence
In the force of the blow
When the towers tumble down
I sink further going underground

I seek sanctuary
Take me in
Keep me safe
I seek sanctuary
Take my sins
Keep my faith

Squaring circles, cutting ice
Hacking numbers, telling lies
Dreaming nightmares, waking up
Twisting, shouting, dying twice

Little poems from the skies
Fading daydreams falling down
Falling down…
