i think i mentioned one time that i have this phobia regarding sharks. i loved sharks as a kid, till i saw the movie Jaws. then i couldn't get the image of a bloodthirsty shark coming at me out of my head, even in a swimming pool. sure, there are no sharks in pools. but tell that to my over-active imagination. especially with my poor eye sight, any blurry figure i saw underwater looked like it could be a shark. nowadays, the only time i can go in the pool is if other people are swimming. i figure my odds of not getting eaten improve with other targets in the water. anyways, i did this first image based on that fear.
with this second image, sometimes i have this re-ccuring dream where i'm being chased or pursued. always trying to get away from something. (not necessarily these strange masked figures but something.) thought it might make for an interesting b/w image.
more b/w's to come...
These are fabulous...especially knowing these things about you. I like the black and white. AND I LOVE THAT YOU FINALLY POSTED!!!!

Yikes, now I'm super scared! Ken, no fair!! I have these exact same nightmares--from Jaws and everything! It's great to plumb the depths of your soul to connect with other people, but...now I need to go eat some toffee chocolate chip ice cream.
Thanks, Ken!
