Word and image

[wongkk.livejournal.com]

The photographer Seiichi Nomura, who produced the Kenshin images in the Dragon Incarnate photobook, takes beautiful pictures which often make Gackt seem very untouchable.  The tones in this image, which is taken from the 2009 desk calendar, reminded me very strongly of the colours found in shadows on snow;  you can see the same slightly exaggerated effect in many Impressionist paintings of snow scenes.  It has been snowing here (southern UK) today and, from the idea of snow and untouchability, came the words, which are mine.  The original image is presumed copyright to Dears unless retained or jointly owned by Nomura.
