I have learned that pretty models really help my pictures.
These photos - and others to follow - were taken by Amanda Richards following a makeover at her True Colors studio in PA.
As many of you know, Amanda is a uniquely gifted artist as well as somebody who pours her heart and soul into her work. For those who haven't had the opportunity to visit her, I highly recommend it. This was my second photoshoot with Amanda - the first was over five years ago - and it was incredibly enlightening. Here are some of the things that I took away from the shoot:
1. Wear a cincher and gaff. I generally don't wear either when I'm out and about, as I value comfort above all, and I typically make do with looser tops and a snug pair of panties for everyday. But for a photo shoot, I think both are advisable, unless you're having boudoir shots, in which case, of course, you're on your own! :-) Based upon my choice of outfits for the shoot, I regretted not wearing either. Lesson learned.
2. Be yourself. Amanda is incredibly flexible and deferential to her clients' tastes, however she has an artist's eye and very definite ideas about makeup. Depending on what look you want, it's important that you consider whether that look will reflect who YOU are as opposed to somebody completely unrecognizable. Some folks might prefer the latter, but I prefer to look like myself, so it's important to take that into consideration when it comes to things like overdrawn lips, brows, eye liner, etc. My philosophy is that we should all play to our natural gifts and diminish aspects of our presentation which don't come across as genuine. Since I tend to be a smiler, some of the photos where I didn't smile seemed to be a bit forced. Lesson learned.
3. Understand what taping does and know its pros and cons. I never tape when I do my own makeup, but Amanda taped me and it can make a real difference. Just be sure to remove the tape within a reasonable period of time, otherwise you'll be scraping glue off your neck and forehead for hours. I had a taping experience many years ago where I wasn't aware that it needed to come off at a certain point, and when I removed it, part of my face came with it. :-( Lesson learned back then!
An Amanda Richards makeover and shoot is a singular experience, and I would encourage anybody who seeks to enhance their own natural, unique beauty to take advantage of it. She's a treasure in the community.
If you've gotten this far, thanks for sticking with my long description of the occasion, and thank you all so much for your beautiful comments!

giving Lara a little dance lesson. she has never danced at an event in the belief she couldn't dance and so I set out to prove her wrong.
she did really well and we had a good laugh when it went wonky because that is what dancing is all about having a laugh.

Recently when I was in Virginia I had the opportunity to photograph this painting (one that is significantly better than the one I posted previously).
由造型設計師KAMIORI KAORI親自打理，邀來少女半月刊non-no御用插画家YOSHII CHIHIRO參與製作，共同完成的概念型錄「LESSON」。以09年的春夏展示会作品為基礎，透過身著芭蕾舞衣的少女視點，創造出屬於繊細風味、輕鬆愉快的日常即景，生動表現個人的獨特世界観。其中點綴搭配的各式洋服小物飾件，恰如其分地襯托出「LESSON」這項主題。雖為品牌型錄但其實更近似於作品集，讓人非常想一次蒐齊限定推出的兩款表紙版本。
“If the river has a soul, it's a peaceful one. If it has a lesson to impart, that lesson is patience. There will be drought, it says; there will be floods; the ice will form, the ice will melt; the water will flow and blend into the river's brackish mouth, then join the ocean... endlessly, forever, amen.”
― Therese Anne Fowler

Teachers are on the middle
Most the Young people were somewhat experienced dancers ,many of them seen on the stages during a Year !
It was a surprise to have this bird pop up very close by at the Get Your Birds! set-up in Ujarras, Costa Rica. The colours are amazing! The serrated upper mandible is noticeable too, a feature of which bird banders become all too well aware.
Geology Lesson. © Copyright 2020 G Dan Mitchell - all rights reserved.
Colorful eroded formation in Death Valley National Park.
The title of this photograph is offered with tongue somewhat in cheek... since I would not be the first person you would go to for a real geology lesson, nor for an accurate description of the objective facts that would account for these remarkable formations. I understand that the material was layered a very long time ago, and that additional colors may have been added over time. Eventually the strata were distorted and twisted and then exposed, where the elements began a process of eroding material away and creating the sculpted effects we see today.
Regardless of the explanation, almost everything about this place and places like it evokes wonder: the striking patterns of uplifted and twisted strata, the unusual patterns of colorful material, the subtle curves of the gully that rises and then turn left, and the details visible in the soft light.

Taken back in June of this year but edited by Rob. He was giving me a lesson in Tone Mapping and used one of my photos, he does great work doesn't he
I attended the school of hard knocks. I came from an industrial, blue collar, inner city
neighborhood and overcame many obstacles people told me would prevent me from achieving my goals. It wasn't easy to get where we are at today.

Take a lesson from the lilies of the field...
Today I am excited... someone bought 10 greeting cards of one of my images! My first sale. :D
Everything has been, and always will be,
A quiet lesson shaping me.
Each joy, each ache, each fleeting chance,
Becomes a step within my dance.
I keep them all—each spark, each gleam—
In corners of my inner stream.
To drift through time, to think, recall,
And find the meaning in it all.
Why is it we're so fascinated by fire? And why does it have to start so young? We had another bonfire tonight, trying to get the garden back under control, and I took the opportunity to talk to my seven-year-old about fire, about respect for it and how dangerous it can be if not controlled. He's a good boy and he listened, and was lecturing Mrs Mac about it over dinner, so I have some hope.
No boys were harmed during the making of this photo...

Harriet teaches piano lessons to neighborhood children each Monday afternoon. Grammie comes over to care for the children so she can focus on her students. Today, she is teaching Greta for the first time. She is showing Greta how to hold her fingers.
Just found this piano at a garage sale for 0.75. It is a music box from the early 1970s. I don't have a stool, so I used this end table for now. I'll make a proper long bench sometime.

Clicked on "On This Day" on my Facebook this morning and up popped a photo taken down at Ballymorran, just outside Killinchy. This was one of several shots taken to ensure my camera was still in working order, as whilst stepping from the roadside down onto the shore, I slipped and fell on the rocks. To use the local vernacular, I went down like a "three fut ruler"
Camera went one way, I went another, filter into the water and a badly staved wrist.....or so I thought!! My first thought of course was never mind my wrist......"Is my camera broken?"
A few painful test shots confirmed it was ok but I now had a wrist like the Elephant Mans. I tried to soldier on but couldn't, so I drove home......how I did, I have no idea? I took some painkillers and anti inflammatories and carried on regardless. Thank goodness I had the sense to take my wedding ring off though as, next morning my hand was twice the size it was before!!! I had broken/crushed the end of one of the bones nearest my wrist and spent the next six weeks in plaster. A painful lesson indeed :)
