Not that I am that old or anything. :roll: Drivers don't use the term "convoy" much any more. They call a convoy a "train." I still prefer "convoy." :wink: OH YEA!! Hammer down. Put the pedal to the metal, rubber ducky. We got ourselves a CONVOY! Oops......sorry. I suppose that I got caught up in the moment. :P
GMAN: Just pull into the next LOVES you see. They have a CD by C.W. McCall that has "Convoy" on it. It also has Wolf Creek pass. It's only about 8 bucks! |

Why does it make you sad? I really don't know what type of life she is portraying. Help me out with this one. I would really like to read your thoughs on her life. Because I have no clue which direction her life is heading, or her background.
Here's my take on what the photographer/ model was trying to portray:
Her arm stitched up means she had her arm cut open.
Either way, she's been abused or has abused herself. Running makeup -or is that blood, perhaps both? Seems to me shes been crying due to pain, depression, anger, or frustration or a possible combination of all four. Also, notice the blood coming out of the side of her mouth. That, to me, symbolizes that something has gone wrong inside her a causative effect no matter if her condition was due to self abuse or external victimization, something has gone wrong. The skull on her right forearm with the talons going into its brain shows what she was was thinking about or somehow related to, at the time she chose the design. Excruciating mental pressure or now twisted mind perhaps? Also, notice she position of her head within her arms and not looking directly at the camera. It's as if she's trying to hide and is ashamed, the fact that she's not grimacing and not particularly cowering seems to say she has conceded to her state of existence. Also, looking a bit deeper, she is the sole subject within this portrait which tells me she feels and is isolated, left alone to deal with her pain at an ever perpetual state of despair. ...And the tattooed skulls create a permanent attachment / attraction(?) to death.
Look closely through and she is a very beautiful and young woman. To me it symbolizes the juxtaposition of beauty vs pain at war within a very vulnerable person. Beauty and vulnerability struggling against the harsh realities of her world. Definitely someone on the edge. On the bottom left corner is the word "worth". Is that the name the photographer chose to use to identify his/her work or is it somehow the value of human life in general and the "worth" of youth and beauty in specific.
In reality shes probably just a model using herself as a canvas to dramatize her view of the world and the realities of those in her (and consequently our) generation.
The use of a female vs the use of a male as the subject seems to be of some significance. Traditionally the female is the "weaker" of the two sexes, and thus more vulnerable. Could the author of this realistic impressionism trying to state that youth and beauty is at the mercy of a very cruel and uncaring world?
The picture in itself, is a very powerful statement of the world in which we now live. The very fact that it exists somewhere in the world around us, visibly or remaining in the shadows, realistically and symbolically is a tragedy.
Art isn't always easy to look at, but it is still art by definition of affect.
That's my take.
How'd I do? |

Roadhammers are great...they did a kick ass re-make of Jerry Reid's "eastbound and down" I like it just as much as the original |

I really get tired of seeing drivers in shorts or filthy jeans, cut-off t-shirts, and flip-flops. Just because you're in a truck all day is no excuse to be a slob. :roll: |

Why don't you really blow the reciever's mind and show up in a clean pair of jeans with a nice button down shirt and wearing deoderant. Maybe pop in a breath mint or two.....
Start changing some of the bad images truck drivers complain about.
I hear a lot complain (not saying anyone here specificaly) being treated as 2nd class people, well if you would stop dressing like one.......
I don't buy the "I don't have time to change" crap either .... I seen lots of truckers who "don't have time" playing the video games in the TA or BS-in at the fuel counter.
If you can't sleep at the stop, take a shower. Make you feel better anyway.....
JMO YMMV........ |

Everyone knows real drivers don't wear thongs... They go commando! :shock: :lol:
You see that way when the homeless bum comes looking for his clothes you stole from him he at least won't want the pants back after you were commando in them! :wink:

I copied that picture and sent it to some friends and relatives and said it was my new girlfriend and now they won't talk to me!! It is a little disturbing! |
