What makes a good photo for you? Is it the technique, the story or the subject?

I am an amateur, excuse my DEFORMED WRIST. I do not know how to do the photoshops.
(Good friends let you use their body for poses, stripping layers when told, and make you a cast to cover the wrist. D. <3)
always looking for something a little different to what I normally post so a different pose makes a change all be it only a slight change.
I had a lovely night out wearing this dress once again, Its such a fab frock to dance around in. The new hair needs to settle in a bit give a few weeks of abuse and it will look as natural as can be.
I was removing my red queen's face up and I took that pic.
She looks so different with and without make up :O

Every day, it seems increasingly likely that Trump and many higher ranked officials colluded with Putin and Russian higher ranking officials in a way that would undermine the actions of previous presidencies and illegitimatize our entire election. Russia just broke a 30 year treaty signifying the end of the Cold War to launch a missile and a Russian spy ship last night was found close to the coast of Connecticut. Which leads me to wonder, how much do they know about America's National Security and what damage could they already do?
Now, don't get me wrong...I don't have anything against Russians themselves. I'm a big fan of Russian literature especially...but, I don't exactly love the idea of having a government that assassinates any opponents and makes domestic abuse legal when 40 women die a day in Russia at the hands of their spouses. I don't trust the Russian government to act in the best interest of their people (look what has happened also historically in Crimea, the Ukraine, Georgia, Chechnya) and definitely not in the best interest of America and I fear even an impending WWIII if this continues to escalate.
It seems a great deal of American conservative lawmakers would love that idea, though, considering there is a new anti-choice Oklahoma law describing a woman's body merely as a "host" for carrying male sperm and a new Arkansas law that allows rapists to demand and even sue their victims if they receive an abortion.
So, I guess we know which states we don't want to visit or live in, right girls?
Last but not least, ICE is still rounding up people based on merely being "suspicious" of them which gives them a great deal of leeway to basically round up whomever they feel like it. Americans are being held hostage by a president who has sold us out to the Russians and whose wife is costing us 1 million extra dollars a day because Melania Trump doesn't want to live in the white house but somehow it's the immigrants and refugees that are the problem....right, that makes total sense.
There is going to be a great deal of protesting today and many of the chains in Chicago are closed to allow their workers to march, which is heartening. I will be going to work myself but in my job I literally support in part some of the children of immigrants so I will be there in spirit and I will continue to love and care for their children and all children with special needs or different ability levels. I can't imagine being a child in this country right now.

I begin my photographic creative journeys with my son AJ at my side because he adds inspiration into the visual experience. I attach several objects to a mobile in our living room and turn up some music. Then I basically dance with my camera in hand, hoping to catch the wonderful flickers of beautiful colors, shapes and movements from the spinning and dancing motion that takes place. Then I use my Macintosh computer with Photoshop to enhance several images and combine them into the final composite prints. Some of the images are not composites but are always enhanced in some way that I feel might be beautifully aesthetically pleasing images to enjoy. These images can really feel and look as if they have been painted by a magic brush. I feel a rush of great joy in seeing one printed and hung on the wall. I feel like they sing, dance and play for my eyes and consider the finished works to be fine art photography. What intrigues me most about all photography are the colors, shapes, and patterns which give me mini vacations and provide great rest and relaxation. My great hope is that I can also offer this same joy to everyone who see my photographs. When it comes to making lasting images and having a great investment in photographic art, the best prints possible are now found to be on aluminum. The colors are vibrant and the luminescence is breathtaking. The detail and resolution are incredible. So you will get from my abstracts just fantastic eye popping art . Paper based prints will last about 20 years. The Aluminum prints are about 150 years for the true color stability. This makes it possible for even your grandchildren to enjoy them. But the best part is this can be a great investment for your love of photographic art. Some of my prints are in limited editions. If you would like to make an investment in my art prints for yourself, please let me know.
