Is it still me that makes you sweat?
Am I who you think about in bed?
When the lights are dim and your hands are shaking as you're sliding off your dress?
Then I think of what you did
And how I hope to God he was worth it.
When the lights are dim and your heart is racing as your fingers touch your skin.
I've got more wit, a better kiss, a hotter touch, a better f**k
Than any boy you'll ever meet, sweetie you had me
Girl I was it, look past the sweat, a better love deserving of
Exchanging body heat in the passenger seat?
No, no, no, you know it will always just be me

Let's get these teen hearts beating. Faster, faster
So testosterone boys and harlequin girls,
Will you dance to this beat, and hold a lover close?

So I guess we're back to us, oh cameraman, swing the focus
In case I lost my train of thought, where was it that we last left off?
Let's pick up, pick up

Oh now I do recall, we were just getting to the part
Where the shock sets in, and the stomach acid finds a new way to make you get sick.
I hope you didn't expect that you'd get all of the attention.
Now let's not get selfish
Did you really think I’d let you kill this chorus?

Let's get these teen hearts beating. Faster, faster
So testosterone boys and harlequin girls,
Will you dance to this beat, and hold a lover close?

Let's get these teen hearts beating. Faster, faster

I've got more wit, a better kiss, a hotter touch, a better f**k
Than any boy you'll ever meet, sweetie you had me
Girl I was it, look past the sweat, a better love deserving of
Exchanging body heat in the passenger seat?
No, no, no, you know it will always just be me

Let's get these teen hearts beating. Faster, faster
So testosterone boys and harlequin girls,
Will you dance to this beat, and hold a lover close?

Let's get these teen hearts beating. Faster, faster

This series is really great.
I love the way they all have a different feel/atmosphere.
The spiderswebs across the..petals..(I guess you can still call them petals) are amazing.
:icontakaknapp:
wow, that's really great, I love the lighting and the spider webs!
:iconillusionisallaround:
I liek it, I just don't like this strange green color...too strong...:/

Punk is freedom. Punk is diversity. Punk is us. We try. We make. We love. We differ.

Yeah I tend to agree, but again being a conceptual piece I felt it fit well, considering how strong the feeling of envy can be (and green being the signifying color).

I'm almost tempted to tone it down but I still feel it sends more of a message being as strong as it is.
:iconakai-shot:
Hehe, thank you :)

And yep, you got it spot on, each one represents an entirely different feeling, so each picture has a very distinct atmosphere to it.

The spiderwebs were actually removed halfway through the shoot because, well... spiders always come back, and I felt i wanted to get some "clean" shots of the rose as well.

But for this shot... they add to the significance...
:iconbsq2phat:
oh great shot. i love it. : off to check rest of gallery now :

Good detail here, and the effect of the cobwebs is very well stated. DOF and colour give really give this a lot, too.
:iconakai-shot:
Thank you! This was my first real foray into macro and lighting. It was a good learning experience for me and I know some things I'll try differently next time :)

As far as the concept, it all came to me after the fact. Looking at what I got with my shoot, it all seemed to just click together and work well...
