I probably ruined my sister’s bridal party photos by squinting in every single shot. The photographer had the bride and her attendants pose in the middle of an open, golden field in direct sunlight. I’m sure the light was lovely for photographs, but my eyes just couldn’t bear it. If only we could have all worn matching sunglasses.
For my outfit photos, I have no one to please but myself, so I can stand in the shade and wear dark glasses.
Vest, AC-3998 (cut from a thrifted jacket). Shirt, Disney. Skirt, Carole Little (thrifted). Boots, Vince Camuto (consignment). Sunglasses, Coco Sunglasses. Earrings, vintage. Bag, Aldo.
I try to avoid the squints without sunglasses by posing under cover and looking at the ground, but I still look pained by sunlight.

Make a picture entirely for yourself.

Hello kitty bag, Marc Jacobs shoes, and a floral sundress that's been hanging around in my closet since my mother would buy me dresses to get me to dress more like a girl and less like ambiguously gendered crust punk . Thank you, Mom.
The backpack is Hello Kitty, and the shoes are Marc Jacobs.
When I squint directly into the setting sun the derelict trailer in my backyard doesn't look so bad.
Yes. One. As in one of three hundred and sixty-five. Yes. Rub your eyes, squint if you have to, but you did not read incorrectly.
Hi guys, i've missed you. And photography. I've missed it all so much that I'm coming back. Full force. I recently got a new Canon EOS 7D, and like when I got my last camera I need to break her in. What better way right?
I hope you follow me as I begin my second (yeah we're not talking about the 3 months I tried to do one, those were dark times) 365.
And thank you ahead of time for any support, comments, likes, views, etc. <3
Feel free to like my facebook page for pictures that don't make it here, and updates. :]
. . . it could just be Crosville.
Another shot of freshly released Bristol Lodekka EOO 590 at work on the Bala Lake Railway's steam gala free shuttle last weekend. The bus had been new to Eastern National but for the purposes of its entering the Welsh village of Llanuwchllyn here, it takes on a slight Crosville feel.
This is the sixth portrait of my attempt at the 100 strangers project.
Heading home from work I was on a packed tram. It was too full for me to make my way to the door at my stop so I stayed on until most people jumped off at the city. It was still light and I had no need to rush home so I wandered around near the river looking for people to shoot. I spotted this lass on the other side of a zebra crossing and waited for her to come to me. She was quite happy to have her picture taken and asked for no explanation.
Shooting with the subject facing the sun seems to give the best separation between them and a slightly darker background. Though it did cause this girl to squint a little. I might try and use the sun for some back lighting soon and look for another light source to bring up the subject's face.
squinting at my screen. i had the camera set up next to the computer ready to upload photos and triggered the remote one more time.
Today's eBay piece is 'The Golden Squint' check it out! (Click blue link to follow to eBay)
It is said that if you gaze at the sunset and squint just so you can see Mount Olympus - home to the entire pantheon of Greek gods. Trying to achieve this so called 'Golden Squint' has led many a scholar to his doom but this lady seems to have nailed it without really trying. I wonder what she can see up there?
Cheers

Some jumping spiders' visual acuity exceeds by a factor of ten that of dragonflies, which have by far the best vision among insects; in fact the human eye is only about five times sharper than a jumping spider's. They achieve this by a telephoto-like series of lenses, a four-layer retina and the ability to swivel their eyes and integrate images from different stages in the scan. The downside is that the scanning and integrating processes are relatively slow.

There's such a ghostly beauty in a fog just thin enough to be blinding. Somehow brighter than even pure sunlight, I squint against that mask of mystery. Just a hundred feet inland is open sky, but high tide brings an impenetrable wall to shore. I've been here before, so I know the view just fine – the rising compulsion lies in a vanishing point. When you know your homeland intimately, maybe the greatest wonder is in suddenly knowing a little less. Like making love in the dark, or being away a while so old familiar sights seem like secrets again. I've always said that half of adventure is finding new places, and the other half is finding new ways to see them. It's what calls me out in every season endlessly, shifts in the weather pulling at my sleeve. You never know the impact that it can make on your heart. Mine gets more open the more the skies close in.
