I stared at that picture for waaaaay longer than is probably healthy! Hehe.
Out of curiosity from a photographer's perspective, a friend of mine and I worked it out. It's the eyes. If you can get the eyes right in a photograph, it's all over.
A good point. And quite a relief! I thought I was going to have to dump my Beloved and find me a nice babushka.
The eyes are indeed the key to a photograph. Probably why I'm wearing shades in mine. Hehe.
A Christian told me: if you were saved you cant lose your salvation. you're sealed with the Holy Ghost
I replied: Can I refuse? Because I find the entire concept of vicarious blood sacrifice atonement to be morally abhorrent, the concept of holding flawed creatures permanently accountable for social misbehaviors and thought crimes to be morally abhorrent, and the concept of calling something "free" when it comes with the strings of subjugation and obedience perhaps the most morally abhorrent of all... and that's without even going into the history of justifying genocide, slavery, rape, misogyny, religious intolerance, and suppression of free speech which has been attributed by your own scriptures to your deity. I want a refund. I would burn happily rather than serve the monster you profess to love.
