Okay, I'll admit it. I hit a processing point where every photograph I touched was not turning out. At all. It was very frustrating, so (along with participating in some holiday weekend activities) I took a break from pictures.
Today, I thought I'd give some of the images another go. And I was very excited with how they were turning out!
Hooray for a brief brain break! Hooray for the Farmer's Museum in Cooperstown!
And hooray for Distressed Jewell and SkeletalMess!!!!
I truly believe that everything that we do and everyone that we meet is put in our path for a purpose. There are no accidents; we're all teachers - if we're willing to pay attention to the lessons we learn, trust our positive instincts and not be afraid to take risks or wait for some miracle to come knocking at our door.

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!

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.

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
