Arms Out
Photo taken by n23art who has struggled with depression for much of his life. Most of the time it’s manageable, but there have been a few times when it has hit him very hard. He is originally from the UK, but currently lives in Thailand.
About this photo: “This photograph was taken in Chiang Mai, Thailand, in September 2012. This was a spontaneous idea I had during a photo shoot. After a conversation with the model she told me that her day job was teaching, as a former teacher myself my first thought was “multitasking” and as women are supposedly better multitaskers it made sense. After the shoot I also started to think about the numerous multi limbed Hindu deities, so it became more like an avatar (in the true sense of the word).
I regretted the decision later after spending many, many hours on Photoshop trying to turn the concept into (some kind of) reality.”

Thanks for sharing.
Awesome

Stunning …. Thank you!
Oh, but it’s womderful like this!
Your time was definitely well spent. Outstanding work.
I agree – time well spent indeed. I immediately thought about the Diety. And I like your vision of women being multi-taskers, and men too, so a good job done well
Great! I love it.
