The I AM presence poster.
Sometimes an image doesn't work the first round I approach it, but I usually store them in my computer anyway just in case. Later I may return and attempt to breathe some life into it and take it up another level. This is the case with this picture I call 'Beacon'. It was originally commissioned by the Children of the Sun Foundation, but languished in the "we might do this with it" category for some time. I left it alone for awhile and came back to it recently to see if I could actually get to like the image. Something was wrong from the beginning, yet I couldn't figure out what it was. Then it came to me. It was too etheric, one could hardly get close to it to access it's beauty. I decided to add some sexiness to it and create a new vibration sensation! The top one is the final version and the bottom the first takes.
Here is the final image called the I AM Presence. I've also included the detail image to show how it looks up a little closer. I love the vibrancy and aliveness of this picture. Sometimes I'll work an image longer than usual, and even sacrifice time on another image or my life, to bring one into a higher place of illumination. In the long run I feel it's worth it to have something shine so brightly. The human spirit is healed and inspired by such light.
