someone messaged me and asked if i noticed the resemblance in this photo and one of subterfugemalaises photos that i have in my fave list (shower is the name of the piece...i am too lazy to do links ). they ask if i stole the idea from her. i said no actually this was a spontaneuos shot i took one day when i was watching the kids. furthermore i do believe if you check my photo was taken before...and submitted before sue anna joe's. i do not think that she was mimicking my photo either. seeing as how her photo has an entirely different feel and conveys a different message. and as for you who may have thought the same thing. investigate further. the figure in hers is an adult where as mine is a child. the colors in hers are cooler and predominantly (if not entirely) blue. whereas mine have a warmer tone. upon further thought on realizes the elements in them are water vs. sun or light. these are two completely different images which happen to have slightly similar poses. SO WHAT?!?!?! you mean to tell me you have never duplicated a pose. psssh. i do not feel like defending my art on a piece by piece basis. so before any of you other little assholes feel like insulting me with you lack of intelligence. think again! i have discarded this last message after promptly replying with something along the lines of what i just wrote here. please people use your brains once in a while!!! sue anna joe is a brilliant artist. i respect her in so many ways. i enjoy her art immensely. i only hope you did not insult her in the same way. next time i will not be so kind as to discard. i will throw a hissy fit and report it as abuse. or i will just post your message along with your name and tell the entire world what an idiot you are.

please if you do NOT have the capacity to either properly critique a piece or at least compliment me on the damn thing. don't waste either of our time. i do not know what you could be spending your time doing...but i have MUCH better things to do with my time.
