M-on-ochro-me

Hi, all :) Lately, people have been drawing my attention to their great instagram Pictures, and I would just like to ask, why the heck is Instagram only available on iPhones and Androids?! Why, why, why?? Instagram, you don't need to rub it in my face the fact that I don't own an iPhone. I'm really quite impressed by Steve Jobs's work, but Apple at this point is just selling because of its brand. It is too capitalistic and I refuse to conform to capitalism- I own a regular old flip-phone (*gasp*) and I'm still alive and happy. I would like some Instagram Webstagram action, please- I'm so jealous of everyone's wonderful Instagrammies.
Anyway, on a very different note, Hurricane Sandy is currently stirring up quite the storm here in New Jersey (my fellow East Coasters --- STAY SAFE!!!) so I'll make this post short and sweet... I'm here to introduce *drumroll please* my M-ON-OCHRO-ME conceptual photo-series!!! (I decided to see what I can do with only a few props, thus the recurring "tree") Let me know if you figure out the deep meanings behind the project name and the individual pictures ;)
Enjoy & have fun analyzing:

Inventing Shadows
"You see the world in only gray and black
Now how could anybody live like that
Without screaming
Without dying for dreaming
And you stare out the window at the passing cars
And you look at the sky, thank your unlucky stars
No you're never quite happy right where you are
So you keep on
Inventing shadows
Where there are none
No, there are none
Yeah, you keep on
Inventing shadows
Where there are none
You don't even see the sun
Can't you see the sun?" -Dia Frampton
