This was the best I've seen. It got me sucked into the story. You told a great story with your photos and words. I felt your emotions all throughout the love story. I felt the atttaction, the excitement and the heartache as well.
Thank you for sharing it. BRAVO!

The story aspect to this set of photos is enchanting. Viewing the pictures is like flipping through someone's personal memories-more intimacy than I bargined for.

Beautiful pictures. They're very personal, almost like actually knowing you and him. And a sad story to boot, that's too close to real life. I've changed since I was 17 too, but it's almost a more subtle change when you're with the person you love everyday.

I'm only 23 now. When I was 17, Love=Hope, and I believed anything my love said. Waking up with her, spending every second just thinking about them...

The note you took a picture of, in red, made me sigh. I have tears coming to my eyes, all I imagine is the emotion that comes from recieving a letter like that. Across continents, well, all I can say is, maybe you both changed. Good luck in your life and loves, and keep taking your pictures. They are etremely beautiful and touching.

Lovely mouth...hmmmm. And are there any other places so delicious to stroke than the sides of a man's torso?

Best I've seen on Nerve in a LONG TIME. Erotic, sweet, and a little heartbreaking. Nice to see someone stretch the boundries of the erotic a bit.

all this does is make me anxious. the you would have loved him too line and photos make me feel like it's too bad she hung on for so long, too bad she isn't over it yet, and too bad she had to find out the hard way that the long distance is doomed. i see regret and lingering attachment; but i don't see love.

Foto stupidissime e senza alcun senso.

Pity that English doesn't have an equivalent of the wonderfully expressive "nombrilisme". Clearly this set of photos counts as run-of-the-mill contemporary art - ugly, self-obsessed and poorly executed. It's not erotic nor is it interesting.

Blurry does not equal interesting; boring does not equal deep.

How many years have I been admiring and disliking the photography presented. In a category deserving of its own is this. Admiration of strength and all that bullshit. The images evoke a story. Like few others and with a desire and love and hurt that touches. Very good. And so there you have it.

Oh, my. Thanks, Lauren, for something real and true. Clear, beautiful, pure. I believe you. I probably would have loved him, too.

Very powerful. This stands out against the rest. It's not just "pretty", it's memorable.

Beautiful. It's so rare and fragile, to see sex fleshed out for us not in the actual moment of lust, but in the moments before it and after it. The ripples of love and lust, shaping and coloring our lives, almost intangibly. You've done a great job making that feel like something I can touch. Thank you.
