My neighbour Gill kindly agreed to sit for me . . . . it was such a lovely day, the sun was shining, we cleared a bit of space in her living room and chatted about this and that while I moved around her with the camera. I really enjoyed the session though she was quite upset by the pictures when she saw them . . . . . " I didn't know I looked like that" she said when she saw the wrinkles and lines. But this was exactly what I wanted to show . . . . that women are beautiful with and despite their lines and wrinkles. I'm so glad that I got the chance to take these pictures . . . if you knew her you'd see that I've captured something of the essence of Gill. I am sorry that they upset her so.
One of the things I'm trying to do is take pictures spontaneously, use the camera, the lighting, the setup just as is, just as I find it. Not quite sure where I'm going with this but I shall, as always, follow my nose and see where it leads me.
