How I Really Feel
How I really feel is not how I show myself to be.
the smile is wide and I can't stop it.
my hands are shaky, and a voice inside of me tells me to hug you close, and tight.
how i really feel can NOT be described in just words, but also actions.
because i tell you I love you doesn't mean I'm in love with you.
because i hold your hand doesn't mean
I want to spend every second with you.
My kisses are cold; cold like my heart.
....LISTEN!!!.....
can you please listen to me? is it possible that we could have a conversation without feeling or having awkward moments? is it possible for us to really express what we feel?
are really interested... or am i just someone else in your list.

"triptych"
Lyrical Triptych Reflection
In this project the assignment was to make/create three lyrical triptychs. Lyrical triptych is three images that are related with each other; they represent the same thing. In this project I need to create these images with also narrative lyrics from a song of our choice. The purpose was show with these three images the meaning and even emotions of the song with some of the lyrics and the images itself.
Well in this project like in every other we first looked at some of the models from other classes in the past; giving the class different types of ways and topic/themes that we could pick to make this project successful. There were some models about relationships, family, love, hate, pain, religious, friendship, etc. then to make a list of something important to us or that we like go on the internet and find a song, take a couple of sentences that will already describe the story the song is narrating and make three different portions. Then find as many pictures as wanted to create our triptychs. In addition we needed to match these images using adobe Photoshop, to make it these entire different images one and relate. I really like how we got to play a lot with the tools and make the project the way we wanted. It needed to be a 300 resolution and 7 by 5 and use almost all the tools; I used cut and paste some of the images, but also magnetic lasso and the magic wand. I made multiple copies, changed the sizes, I rotated some images, flipped, and changed the opacity and many others.
My theme was about love but not any kind of love a love who will one day leave and never come back. For my first triptych I used a young girl in a wedding dress going kind of out the church, also trumpets from a different picture, different dates from a calendar (which I repeated a couple of times), and a wedding ring on the floor. For my second one I used as background a path of railroads somewhat in the wood where it seems a long way to go. In addition a shoulder who I repeated 3 times in different sizes and some darker the others to make it seem like he is leaving; fatting away. And last a woman at the front who is the main character (that’s why she sticks out the most) calling or reaching out for him. And for the third one (the last one) I used as the background a garden with a tree which is dropping petals everywhere to make it seem peaceful. But there are three military guys who are the same (just repeated) with rifle ring the last shot of the honorable man who died. There is the main character in black and a shoulder handing her the last thing she ever will have from her love a “fold up flag”.
I choose this story not only because I like romantic things but also because this things do happen in real life and its sad. Though it’s a sad song I choose it because I also love it. I am a very romantic person when I want to be and so I wanted to choose something about me I really like that I don’t often show.
I really loved this project though it took a long time to do it and I was also having a hard time at first to do it right. I would do this project all over if I have to but better though I am satisfy with my work. I think that I will be using triptych next time I would like to ether send a card or create a story for someone.
