"She was from Poland, now living in L.A. She fancied herself an artist, a photographer but it was really just her equipment which was not half bad, the rest of the appeal to her audience was her unflagging belief that all her black and white cleavage and side-breast shots made for compelling art comprised of more depth than the soft core titillation offered up. Of course there was a market for such things but most of those who contributed to it thought better than to imagine themselves another Brassai. She was the architect behind several overly dramatic nights not worth the rolling around that ensued the theatrics. The last one including her tearfully sitting in my window at dawn as if imagining herself in the scene from a film which she would only half understand, perfectly framed by the silhouettes of buildings rear lit by the rising sun saying something about "our first fight". I was half tempted to tell her to hold on a moment, pick the prefect record, cue the music and have her do it again but thought better of it as I did not know what would then happen in the next scene. I saw her down the end of the street now, I did not want to make eye contact but the more I resisted the more I felt the need to look up, completely ignoring the warnings of both Lot's wife and Eurydice. I looked and she made a bee line for me. I was at Casino's pied-a-terre. As I knew she would, Casino had forgotten to wait in the lobby for me. I rapped on the door waiting for the doorman to buzz me in. Come on man, push the button, push it already..."

My push was given by Timothy. His stream is awesome BTW. He pushed me using 4 rules. No persons,must have bright color(s), must represent where I live and a fairly close-up shot. This was challenging for me for several reasons; making it a great push. Firstly, I am new to photography so everything is hard. Secondly I mainly take photos of people. Lastly I rarely use colors, I am a b&w freak. However I tried to meet the challenge.
This is the Oleander, it is the official flower of the British Virgin Islands. They can be found all over the island in white or pink. I used the pink because I was asked to use a bright color. I hope this met the requirements of my push!!
Looks better on black.
