love is not a feeling.
this is misguided 20th century drama, not reality.
love is in action.
love is only something that exists at a verb tense level.
it is not adjective or noun.
you see, there is a broad and generalized misunderstanding about language which persists over time.
for instance, i will use astrology as an example.
when people hear the word astrology it would be ridiculously fun to video tape the mind's imagery. what would be the top ten imagistic representations of what springs to mind? do people imagine stars? celebrities? icons? wizards? women in medieval garb? charlatans? tramps? thieves?
but if you break it down as a grammar, it's hard not to see the same calculations that we use today.
for instance, as a grammar, let's identify the tenses in which action, as a framework, takes place.
the verbal information in astrology is carried in the dynastic cycle of the calendar structuring. that is to say, during each season there is a month which fully represents the stasis point of the three month period. this month is said to be the "constant" for that quarter, as astrology breaks the year up into quarters, thirds and twelves by the moon cycle.
during the constant months (taurus, leo, scorpio, aquarius), there is a period of stabilization. in the chinese dynastic model, this is the period of reign. it is preceded by an uprising and it is always followed by a falling out.
so the three verb tenses are RISING -- STEADY -- FALLING
you can see how english uses a similar format for identifying meaning: PAST -- PRESENT -- FUTURE
but it's weird how many people don't realize that grammars are visible, living entities.
we still struggle with a context and those apparently invisible grammars only sink in around us like fish nets.
to modify and give form to the three verb tenses, astrology uses four elements. the chinese astrology uses five. this is one obvious and notable difference between the historical cultures of both the east and west...
put your three tenses together with four elements and twelve signs and you get 144 different options. split those into male and female based grammatology and you have 72, the number of cards in the tarot deck and consequently, the number of identified personality types/steps in the completion of the human persona. ask your favorite scientologist just how much it costs to get to 72!!! [total aside, it's pretty fking hilarious that yahoo acts like it doesn't know the word scientologist in spell check... heheheh. kind of like how iPhone doesn't know Instagram and will autocorrect it to "on a gram"]

I've been commissioned to take some pictures by Rapid Fiction, a London-based UK band. I would describe them as being influenced by Interpol, Joy Division, and 1980s electro rock. They may not agree with that assessment, of course! They want a series of shots for a revamp of their website including the front splash screen.
A concept we are working on is the idea of an anti-heroine who rises to a place of celebrity and stardom but who then undergoes a spectacular fall from grace. I guess there could be many takes on that.
On this particular shoot our narcissistic anti-heroine (on this occasion played by Elen) checks in to a hotel room with a male guest. Sordid possibilities abound but almost unconsciously the narrative twisted as we shot and by the end of the shoot the helpless male has apparently been done away with! The female of the species is more deadlier...
