Alternate Album Cover For "Again" 

Theories on the current album cover and the alternate version.

To be honest, I never consider using this alternate cover to be the "feel" of this album. I liked it,  but did not feel I needed a change. The cover that exists today speaks volumes to my intent. It captures my solitude, the changes in my life, and  the brave unknown. I was pleased with what I had.

The Existing Cover: 
I was ecstatic when I ran across this photo in my digital photo bank. The cover design literally fell out of my back pocket. Oh how I love photography, if only I could have a life filled with the creation of music and one of capturing life's moments raw, man, now that would be heaven. 

My Second Guessing: 
I found myself on the down side of reaction; customers pause, silence, and the dreaded ohhhhhh. I knew those reacting knew me, I knew they didn't know the me that I was trying to be. However, the rivers of self doubt envelop me. 

I took this project on with full confidence and stride. I knew what I wanted, I feel I got it. But, reactions from the real world can really mess with a confident minds direction. I didn't really look at this alternate cover until the CD was out there.  Reactions give to reaction.

The regretful battle of what you want and what "you think" they want, we all feel it, we all need it in some disturbing way. It "they" touches us in every walk of life. It is the battle that I wish never existed. It is a battle that tears our insides apart. However, someday in a land far greater than ours, it could be a battle that binds us together. Obviously, I am not the one to do this or even to be the champion of the effort.

Enough, enough, enough... here is close up look at The Alternate Cover.
