I see the whispering, especially on the left side. On the right side, I find myself thinking of what it's like to imagine actually saying the words, speaking the secrets. In this way, the two surfaces express that ambivalence to me. But in a way, this feels almost too reductive; part of me wants to just sit with how moving this photo is.
The title of this blog is taken from Alexander McCall Smith's 44 Scotland Street series of books. Bertie is a wee precocious boy who's not allowed to be a child. His mother has grand plans for him, and has organized "The Bertie Project" to educate him well beyond his years. This blog is meant to be my own personal "Bertie Project" - a way to lead a more enriched life.

I had to think about the word, (I'm Dutch) but now I understand the meaning of the word and there for I 'see' the image and its load.
I can feel the load of the lurking, you show that.
Its a haunting image.
