For "Looking close... on Friday!" . Them : "White".
Had an amazing experience having work done by an incredibly talented makeup artist / hair stylist.
Pic from last night’s trans support group. This is my “professional look”! I sent this pic to my wife and she responded by saying she thought “it’s the best I’ve ever looked”. Gotta love a vote of confidence like that!
There are so many great quotes I could have used for the title to this one that I just couldn't decide.
Anyways, a follow-up to my previous post where I listed off a boatload of Crime movies that I've recently watched and enjoyed, I mentioned that my favorite would get its own post.
And goddamn do I love this movie.
For those that aren't familiar, Leon: The Professional is a 1994 film directed by Luc Besson. It came about after positive reaction to a one-scene-wonder character called The Cleaner that appeared in another of his films Le Femme Nikita.
Leon: The Professional follows the titular Leon (Jean Reno), a simple-minded, lonely Italian Hitman in NY City and his day-to-day life, which is interrupted when he decides to harbor a twelve year old girl named Mathilda (Natalie Portman, literally twelve) after her parents and siblings are gunned down by corrupt DEA agents led by Stansfield (Gary Oldman). Mathilda, wanting revenge for her little brother's death, tries to hire Leon to train her in the art of "cleaning", which he initially refuses. Over the course of the film they develop a weird father/daughter relationship, and help each other get over their respective feelings of isolation.
Really, I can't go on enough about how much I dig this movie, it's one of, if not my number one all time favorite, running neck-and-neck with Terry Gilliam's Brazil (and probably The Blues Brothers. Heh.)
Anyways, I'm sure i'll be back to the typical Super Heroes/Sci-Fi shtick sometime soon, so stay tuned for that.
Until then, cheers folks!
A modern business headshot for a female professional.
Lit with a large rectangular softbox as key light and an eyelighter below. White cardboard as a fill, Striplight as a kicker and a strobe on the background for a nice and smooth gradient.

For those of you who like close ups, I think you will appreciate this image. It allows you to zoom in.
Taken on Friday, May 26, 2023, just in case you're wondering what I look like nowadays.
No photo shopping or Face App needed. I prefer a natural (albeit somewhat glamorous) look with un-retouched photos. So in other words, if you saw me at the mall, this is what you would see, minus the apron.

Consider selling this, though only as a complete kit-
Pricing? Price the individual items on the list and do the sums. All of it is "Mint Condition". Has been stored in dehumidifying boxes since 2010, unused. Note: Just the two camera bodies and seven lenses, alone, are worth $5,500 . . . The Paramender $250 . . . The various Finders $1560 . . . Hand Grips including rare wooden left hand grip $375 . . . Leather walk-around carrying cases (2) $380 . . . Well over $7,500 in value.
Would consider trade for equivalent value, but prefer cash in hand.

Nos últimos dias essa feira de beleza consumiu todo o meu tempo, mas valeu a pena vendo o resultado do trabalho.
Aí vai uma amostra e assim que possível posto outras mais. :)
This black dress presents my most serious professional image.
Enough of that! It's the weekend. Yay!
We're Here - Working 9 to 5
I'm a stay-at-home mom. Every now and then people say something really stupid around me that makes me feel unappreciated. The most recent example is a fun one. I was told about a stay-at-home, homeschooling mother who is now "trying to make something of her life." What?!? The fact she raised and educated her kids doesn't count? Now that she's getting a "real job" she's making something of her life? Pft...
I am not saying that stay-at-home moms are never appreciated in society. I've heard people talk like that, and I don't agree. I've also cringed at some things said about women who choose not to have kids or get married. And it's not just about motherhood. I've seen many different professions disparaged. People in retail have it bad when it comes to being belittled. And I've learned you won't find respect as a small town photographer either.
I guess what I am saying is that people need to be appreciated once in a while and that it hurts to be unappreciated. An elderly lady was ahead of me at the grocery checkout a few weeks ago. When it was time for her to pay she told the cashier that she was doing an excellent job and that she appreciated her. The cashier's face lit up with joy and energy, and that glow lasted as long as I was there. Just a little bit of appreciation goes a long way. :)
Oh my goodness, I'm rambling! lol I'll stop now. :)
Up in the Kolob back country of Dixie National Forest one will find endless dirt roads, which are a pleasure to explore during the fall season. This old miners homestead was a neat find.
