First Contest Win at FAA

It was a great surprise for me today, to see that I had won my first contest at FAA.
The contest was initiated by Corina Bishop, Marshall, MO United States, and the contest title was 'Loss and hopelessness'.
It was 87 pieces of Artwork, and 136 votes.
I contributed with one of my favorite pictures that I took while attending evening photo school in Norway.
It was a late November Saturday afternoon and we were at school doing a so called 'cover shoot'. Model, hair & make-up artist was booked and everyone had a great time.
The shoot was carried out on location, in the basement at the school in Oslo. The only heat the poor model Aoife Maloney Westgård had, was a 600watt lamp pointing in her direction.
She was dressed up in a thin angle-like dress and was very cold, but she never lost her concentration and as seen in the picture, she played the role of despair and loneliness to the best.
I had a music tune glued to my brain those days, and had been thinking to make a picture to go with the song.
Normally I would use myself as the model, but this day, with the perfect model and just the right setting, the picture unfolded in front of me.
There is was: Lost Dreams...

Lyrics:
Give me release
witness me
I am outside
give me peace

Heaven holds a sense of wonder
and I wanted to believe
that I'd get caught up
when the rage in me subsides

Passion chokes the flower
'til she cries no more
possessing all the beauty
hungry still for more

Heaven holds a sense of wonder and I wanted to believe
that I'd get caught up
when the rage in me subsides

I can't help this longing
comfort me
I can't hold it all in
if you won't let me

Heaven holds a sense of wonder and I wanted to believe
that I'd get caught up
when the rage in me subsides

In this white wave
I am sinking
in this silence
in this white wave
in this silence
I believe
I believe

I have seen you
in this white wave
you are silent
you are breathing
in this white wave
I am free
I am free
I am free
