I mean, I've taken dozens of her, and very few are worthy of anything but the trash heap. She's a lovely-looking woman in real-life, and when we first met she told me she doesn't photograph well. I told her, "Don't you worry, I'll get a good one of you!" It's been almost a year and a half now, and I have ~very~ few palatable photos of her. I know that part of the problem is that she absolutely freezes up when she sees a camera. This is one of the few that don't make either of us cringe, and even then it doesn't do her justice. I kind of like her "smiling eyes". This was taken at the Gelato shop at which I took last week's PESO (the "Norman Rockwell" one, according to Bob W). While we were there, she took this one of me: http://tinyurl.com/3ag66c http://bp3.blogger.com/_EaTEtfR4WJw/R0xYSQEIbgI/AAAAAAAABBk/G_pELxjeZLo/s1600-h/nov_27+002.jpg She's a pretty good photographer (owns an Oly P&S), but don't judge her by this one: Look at what she has to work with. <g> cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
