Hello friends, this is my Valentine's day upload. I know its not very related to Valentines day, nor did i upload it on valentines day. Oh well. This was inspired by Cupid. I wanted to take Krisha and sort of turn her into an evil cupid, or something of the sort. So we got to location, and we got to work. Ill post the before here so you can see exactly what i did with the image in post. My Valentines day was great! I got my girlfriend our favorite movie, Good Will Hunting, on blu ray and i also got her a FD 28 f/2.8 for her Canon AE-1. She got me a 24-105L Lens mug :). It was fun! We went out to a very fat but delicious Lucille's dinner. That and this shoot made for a very memorable valentines day :). As for this picture, it had come out exactly how i anticipated it to. But i dont know, i feel like it could be missing something. Or maybe i have expectations to high for my conceptual capabilities. I am sort of new to this stuff, so cut me some slack. I realized after doing this shot that i would like to continue to do conceptual stuff with my girlfriend. Shes the only person i would want to do this sort of stuff with. She takes really good direction and puts up with me while im the zone haha. Ill stop typing now because i feel very sick. Im pretty congested and i have a terrible headache. I probably gave the sickness to my girl too haha. Alrighty, bye now.

I was spending 3 days in Koh Rok island. The name of the island is meaning a squirrel, but name Hermit wouldn't be bad name either, because the island is full of Hermit crabs.

I stopped in at an east end Toronto street festival build around displaying a variety of show cars including classics, muscle cars, hot rods, and tuners. (www.wheelsonthedanforth.com) While I was investigating some of the impressive metal, I saw this beautiful retro woman with an impressive hairdo. She was carrying a parasol and I couldn’t resist approaching her and asking for a photo. She happily agreed to my request. Meet Suzy Q.
We were in a rather uninspiring location – the parking lot of a suburban strip mall – in full sun. Suzy Q agreed to step around the corner of the hamburger joint where there was a slice of shade from the building and I tried to make the best of it and finished with a couple of backlit photos facing into the strong afternoon sun. I could have used a reflector or some fill flash, but didn’t have either with me.
Photos taken, I checked out my assumption that Suzy Q was involved in the event and she explained that she had co-organized and judged a 50s beauty pageant. It was the first time that the car show has had a beauty pageant and she said it was a smashing success and would likely become an annual event. She was sorry to hear that I had missed it and so was I.
When I explained my Human Family photo project, Suzy immediately agreed to be in the project so we talked for a few more minutes. She was very friendly and generous with her time as we chatted on the parking lot. When I asked how long it took her to create the amazing retro hairstyle she surprised me by saying “Just about 15 minutes.” “15 minutes?” I exclaimed. “I’m really surprised. I would have thought hours. She smiled and said “I have an advantage: I’m a hair stylist.” (Her salon can be found on Facebook under Pretty in Style.)
In addition to being a stylist, Suzy is a professional 50s pinup model. When I invited her to share a message with the project, she thought for a brief moment and said “Women should empower other women. It used to be that way in the past, but it doesn’t seem to be any more.” Her advice is “Be the woman who tells the other girl when she has lipstick on her teeth.” We shared a laugh but I thought it was a great message and behind the humor was a strong belief in empowerment.
Thanks Suzy, for taking a few minutes to meet and for participating in my Human Family project on Flickr. Congratulations on the success of the pageant. Perhaps I will arrive at the car show earlier next year and get to see the pageant. It sounds like a lot of fun.
This is my 851st submission to The Human Family Group on Flickr.

A boat on a morning trip through Milford Sound cruises slowly toward the base of one of the many waterfalls cascading down the walls of the sound.
Located on the south island of New Zealand, Milford Sound is actually a fjiord as it was created by glacial action.

Amazing morning light in the National Cathedral in Washington DC. Kathy led me on a 2 mile, uphill death march from our hotel but wow was it worth it. There were very few people there, the light was amazing and best of all they allow tripods to be used inside!
A vintage 1655 Explorer II captured with a background image of a 216570, the current Explorer II. It is Rolex's homage/update to this classic.
Reference 1655 was first introduced in 1971 and produced until 1984. It is powered by the 26-jewel caliber 1575 movement.
The 1655 was not a popular watch model and fewer of them were made and sold than other Rolex sports models. This relative rarity and its now famous orange hand has made it a desirable collectors watch.
On its 40th anniversary in 2011, Rolex reintroduced the famous 'orange hand' to the line.
