I'm a bit backlogged on posts but I always want to show my most recent work. Today was a great day for California. CA got a bit of it's dignity back after Judge Vaughn Walker overturned Proposition 8. I had a bit of an unplanned contention with a someone in my life (not my husband, he is so very happy about this) who disagrees with the judge's decision. I took the photo shoot shortly after and I think the expressions I made in the photos had a little more depth and meaning than usual (you be the judge). I want through a gamut of emotions today, elation, anger, forgiveness, and sadness. Today was just one of those epic days that went by so slowly and I feel as though I'm a stronger and more empathetic person as a result. Sometimes to truly love someone you have to be confrontational.
shorts: bows and arrows vintage, sandals: thrifted, tank: crimson and clover, dress: thrifted
I totally thought most of these photos were rubbish but I was pleasantly surprised with how quite a few of the them turned out. Goes to show you never can tell- at least from that tiny screen.

Your daughter, anyway, seems to have uncomplicated facial expressions! That's great about Proposition 8 by the way!
ReplyDeleteYour expressions do look different in this shoot, and there is more strength in your expression. The pic of you and B in the tree is my fave. SWEET!
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, yay on Prop h8 being overturned. I can only hope those that opposed gay rights now will change their minds soon and realize that civil rights should not be trampled on by out-moded religious perspectives.

ReplyDeleteI'm always pleasantly surprised out how my photos turn out as well. Looking at the camera screen doesn't do them justice I guess!
I love Bea's dress, the florals are lovely! Your shorts are also so pretty, the color is stunning! I'm so happy Prop 8 was overturned, I was already so surprised it passed in '08. I guess I thought California was a lot more liberal than it actually is :P
