Just love the way the light was caught on her eye lashes, breasts don't hurt the composition either.
Strobist info: fired an SB-900 through a soft box at 45degrees from the subject...used an unfiltered SB-700 for hair light.
Anya is one of the brand new Lasher BJD's by Kimberly Lasher. I feel really lucky to have gotten my hands on the prototype doll to try a fun look for a special project. More can be seen of American artist, Kimberly Lasher's ball jointed dolls at www.lasherbjds.com for those that are curious. I'm in LOVE with this one! :0)
I went to my 7 year olds Christmas concert and after the songs etc we were invited back to the classroom for 30 minutes of Christmas activities, here is a shot of her with my Pentax KX and the luscious Super Multi Coated Takumar 50mm f1.4 at f1.4!
I like this shot as candids with kids are hard to capture!
Young lady who is on her way to building a fashion empire. Hopefully she succeeds!

Eye lashes to bat at any female Southern Cassowary that this male finds in his travels through the forest. His is an endangered species with wild sightings not a common sight.
I'm part of a cassowary conservation group www.kurandaconservation.org/ with the bonus of sometimes sighting wild cassowaries as well as replanting rainforest plants for their food, and raising public awarness of their endangered status.
Sincere thanks for your dropping by to view, comment and/or fave my nature offerings from various parts of Australia!

This video is an animated slideshow of images of myself as Chantal Thierry, a 1960s French secret agent from my "Absolutely Smashing" franchise.
These came in today too - but once again, I think I might revert to her prior look. Don't get me wrong, I like the lashes and they make her look more 'real' but they also make her look prettier and a little bit older and I'm not sure if that's what I want for this character.
I will leave them in for awhile and see if I get used to them. Thankfully, lashes are easily removed.

The Metéora (Greek: Μετέωρα, pronounced [mɛˈtɛoɾɐ], lit. "middle of the sky", "suspended in the air" or "in the heavens above" — etymologically related to meteorology) is one of the largest and most important complexes of Greek Orthodox monasteries in Greece, second only to Mount Athos.[1] The six monasteries are built on natural sandstone rock pillars, at the northwestern edge of the Plain of Thessaly near the Pineios river and Pindus Mountains, in central Greece. The nearest town is Kalambaka. The Metéora is included on the UNESCO World Heritage List under criteria[2]I, II, IV, V and VII
The Theopetra caves 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) south of Meteora had inhabitants fifty millennia ago.[4] The oldest known example of a man-made structure was found within a prehistoric cave in central Greece, according to the Greek culture ministry. The structure is a stone wall that blocked two-thirds of the entrance to the Theopetra cave near Kalambaka on the north edge of the Thessalian plain. It was constructed 23,000 years ago, probably as a barrier to cold winds. “An optical dating test, known as Optically Stimulated Luminescence, was applied on quartz grains nested within the stones. We dated four different samples from the sediment and soil materials, and all provided identical dates,” Nikolaos Zacharias, director of the laboratory of archaeometry at the University of Peloponnese, told Discovery News. According to a statement by the ministry of culture, “the dating matches the coldest period of the most recent ice age, indicating that the cavern’s inhabitants built the stone wall to protect themselves from the cold.” Excavated since 1987, the Theopetra cave is well known to palaeontologists as it was used and inhabited continuously from the Palaeolithic period onwards (50,000 to 5,000 years ago).[5]
In the 9th century, an ascetic group of hermit monks moved up to the ancient pinnacles.
They were the first people to inhabit Metéora. They lived in hollows and fissures in the rock towers, some of which reach 1800 ft (550m) above the plain. This great height, combined with the sheerness of the cliff walls, kept away all but the most determined visitors. Initially the hermits led a life of solitude, meeting only on Sundays and special days to worship and pray in a chapel built at the foot of a rock known as Dhoupiani. As early as the 11th century AD hermit monks were believed to be living among the caves and cutouts in the rocks.[1]
The exact date of the establishment of the monasteries is unknown. By the late 11th and early 12th centuries, a rudimentary monastic state had formed called the Skete of Stagoiand was centered around the still-standing church of Theotokos (mother of God).[1] By the end of the 12th century, an ascetic community had flocked to Metéora.
In 1344, Athanasios Koinovitis from Mount Athos brought a group of followers to Metéora. From 1356 to 1372, he founded the great Meteoron monastery on Broad Rock, which were perfect for the monks; they were safe from political upheaval and had complete control of the entry to the monastery. The only means of reaching it was by climbing a long ladder, which was drawn up whenever the monks felt threatened.
At the end of the 14th century, the Byzantine Empire's 800-year reign over northern Greecewas being increasingly threatened by Turkish raiders who wanted control over the fertile plain of Thessaly. The hermit monks, seeking a retreat from the expanding Turkish occupation, found the inaccessible rock pillars of Meteora to be an ideal refuge. More than 20 monasteries were built, beginning in the 14th century.[1] Six remain today.
In 1517, Nectarios and Theophanes built the monastery of Varlaám, which was reputed to house the finger of St John and the shoulder blade of St Andrew.
Access to the monasteries was originally (and deliberately) difficult, requiring either long ladders lashed together or large nets used to haul up both goods and people. This required quite a leap of faith – the ropes were replaced, so the story goes, only "when the Lord let them break".[6] In the words of UNESCO, "The net in which intrepid pilgrims were hoisted up vertically alongside the 373 metres (1,224 ft) cliff where the Varlaam monastery dominates the valley symbolizes the fragility of a traditional way of life that is threatened with extinction."[7]
In 1921, Queen Marie of Romania visited Meteora, becoming the first woman ever allowed to enter the Great Meteoron monastery.[8] In the 1920s there was an improvement in the arrangements. Steps were cut into the rock, making the complex accessible via a bridge from the nearby plateau. During World War II the site was bombed.[citation needed] Many art treasures were stolen.[citation needed]
Until the 17th century, the primary means of conveying goods and people from these eyries was by means of baskets and ropes.[9]
Six of the monasteries remain today.[7] Of these six, four were inhabited by men, and two by women. Each monastery has fewer than 10 inhabitants. The monasteries are now tourist attractions.
One of the BEST doll photographers I've met here on Flickr is Markus Royale. And he has a great LIV eyelash tutorial on YouTube! Well, since I have two Haydens, I thought I'd follow the easy instructions, and give one of my Haydens some eyelashes!
Realizing, though, I didn't own a pair of eyelash curlers (never used 'em in my life!) my husband was sweet enough to drive to the dollar store, twenty minutes til closing, and put down one whole dollar on my very first pair of eyelash curlers. :)
As for the fake lashes: I already had a pair for a photoshoot I have planned for myself. I'm gonna dress up like I Dream of Jeannie's evil sister! ;)
But with my Canon on the fritz, it was gonna be a while before I could use them.
one of my goals for the new year is to save up to buy a better camera so I can take beautiful shots of my children. I also want to take a photography class, so I can learn how to take "real" pictures, with good lighting and such.
When I look at the pictures some of the women I admire on Flickr take, I feel somewhat envious and very dumb because my pictures don't even come CLOSE to being beautiful like theirs.
But my children are beautiful, so I love each picture I take of them, even if they aren't perfect or don't have great lighting or aren't framed perfectly. To me, they are beatuiful because of who THEY are.
And they? Are perfect.
I wish I was better at this, but, the truth is, I have no idea what I'm doing and I use a simple "point and shoot." But, I try. And I hope I at least do a good job of capturing "Moments" in their lives and emotions that they feel. That's what is really important to me.
