(Mama always said life was like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get.)
Another shot of model Jade Forrest taken a few weeks ago outside one of the entrances to the Bodleian Library.
Plenty more from the various model shoots I've been involved in within my portraits set : www.flickr.com/photos/darrellg/albums/72157601321043616
Still rather out of my comfort zone shooting people but that's a good reason to do more of it. If anyone is interested in sparing a couple of hours in return for some images feel free to get in touch. Of course it would be helpful if you were based somewhere in the Oxford area.

The picture was taken during a Flickr photowalk in Lisbon (blog.flickr.net/en/2019/04/29/flickr-photowalk-in-lisbon-...). It was a really great, inspiring and interesting photowalk through this beautiful city with Flickr's COO Ben MacAskill (www.flickr.com/photos/benmacaskill), local photographers, visitors and participants of the Creative Commons Summit. And for the first time in our holiday week in Lisbon even the sun came out.
Inspired by... Frank Ocean - Forrest Gump

Thanks for taking the time to view my image. Your comments, faves & constructive criticism are greatly appreciated.
Not as sharp as it could be but I still like this shot of model Jade Forrest framed by one of the arches at the Bodleian Library in Oxford.

Sally Forrest (1928-2015) was an American film, stage and TV actress of the 1940s and 1950s. She studied dance from a young age and shortly out of high school was signed to a contract by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. She is best known for the Film Noirs she made with director Ida Lupino.
Sally Forrest was born Katherine Sally Feeney in San Diego in 1928. Her parents were Michael and Marguerite (née Ellicott) Feeney. Her father was a U.S. Navy career officer, who moved his family to various naval bases, finally settling in San Diego. He and his wife later became ballroom dancers and taught dance classes. Sally entered dance classes by the first grade and was signed by MGM upon her graduation from high school. In 1945, she moved with her parents to Hollywood, where Sally worked on the dances used in the films Till the Clouds Roll By (Richard Whorf, 1946) with Robert Walker, and The Kissing Bandit (Laslo Benedek, 1948), starring Frank Sinatra. Soon unemployed, she worked in bit roles until she teamed with Ida Lupino, who was producing and directing small films at the time. Forrest made her acting debut in Not Wanted (1949), written and produced by Ida Lupino. The film's controversial subject of unwed motherhood was a raw and unsentimental view of a condition that was rarely explored by Hollywood at that time. The picture was a critical and commercial success, and Sally also received critical acclaim for her role. Forrest starred in two more Lupino projects, Never Fear (Ida Lupino, 1949) and Hard, Fast and Beautiful (Ida Lupino, 1951) with Claire Trevor. She also appeared in other Film Noirs, including Mystery Street (John Sturges, 1950), with Ricardo Montalban, and the star-studded While the City Sleeps (Fritz Lang, 1956).
Sally Forrest's musical background and training as a jazz and ballet dancer brought roles in the transitional musicals that rounded off the golden age of MGM; most notable was Excuse My Dust (Roy Rowland, 1951) with Red Skelton. Most of her films were made under contract to MGM, which prided itself as family entertainment, but RKO, headed by the eccentric and controlling Howard Hughes, presented a very different creative challenge. The cult classic Son of Sinbad (Ted Tetzlaff, 1955) with Dale Robertson and Vincent Price, was one of his many pet projects where he had a personal interest in re-designing the star's skimpy wardrobe. With each rehearsal, Forrest noticed her harem dance costume slowly disappearing, until it was barely compliant with the Motion Picture Production Code. In 1953, she had moved to New York with her husband, writer and producer Milo Frank who was hired to be head of casting for CBS. So, her film work transitioned to theatre and TV. She starred on Broadway in The Seven Year Itch, and appeared in major stage productions of Damn Yankees, Bus Stop, As You Like It and No No Nanette. Later she returned to Hollywood and continued working at RKO and Columbia Pictures. Her final film was RKO's While the City Sleeps (Fritz Lang, 1956), a murder mystery co-starring Dana Andrews, Rhonda Fleming, Vincent Price and her frequent collaborator Ida Lupino. Forrest had married Frank in 1951. They had no children and remained wed until his death in 2004. Forrest and Frank were owners of the former Benedict Canyon home of Jean Harlow and Paul Bern on Easton Drive in Beverly Hills. They rented it to Jay Sebring prior to his murder at the nearby home of Sharon Tate. Sally Forrest died of cancer in 2015, aged 86, at her home in Beverly Hills, California. She was survived by a niece and two nephews.

One of the shots towards the end of the location shoot I had with Jade Forrest last month. The 2hr TFI (time for images) shoot gave us the opportunity to shoot in a number of locations around Oxford using the various University buildings as photogenic backdrops.

When model Jade Forrest responded to my request for willing portrait subjects and we came up with the theme for the shoot I knew immediately that I wanted to shoot early evening in streets like Merton Street and Queens Lane, seen here. Shooting the subject backlit on these east - west running streets I thought would provide an interseting alternative to shooting with the sun behind me.

La caída de la pluma al principio y final de la película de Forrest Gump, simboliza lo volátil e impredecible que es la vida.
Esta película nos enseña, que a pesar de las dificultades que nos podamos encontrar a lo largo de ella, tenemos la capacidad de superarlas en lugar de estancarnos en nuestras limitaciones.
En muchas ocasiones nosotros somos los principales responsables de nuestro futuro.
No puedo evitar al ver una pluma volar, acordarme de ella.

You've seen this photo. Made famous in the movie, Forrest Gump Point has become a tourist attraction all its own. And why not? With a view like this, how can you pass it up?
I am on vacation ( finally )
I came to Seattle to visit a friend I had met online over 5 years ago, it is so good to meet like minded people! I am having such a wonderful time here with them.
This little guy right here has been my light, he has been such a sweetie this whole time and he is a perfect model obviously!
it feels so good to be connected with art again, sorry I have been not as active lately. I have taken my week off to just dedicated to photography, I am excited to see what I'll create.

You probably know how this works yourselves. You go on a vacation to some nice place and find yourself a hotel just outside the border of the city to have some peace. Also a route to the nearby city with some nice views so you can admire the nature. Then of course you find out that just at the start of your vacations local government decides to do some long-needed heavy construction work there so you can admire the same view you have in your home city every day.
This was one of the first photos that I took in Oxford of model Jade Forrest when we recently met up recently for a 'Time for Images' shoot. We wandered through University Park before heading into town to shoot against more 'urban' backgrounds.
Plenty more from the various model shoots I've been involved in within my portraits set : www.flickr.com/photos/darrellg/albums/72157601321043616
