Yesterday was my portrait class. It was pouring down rain and these were pictures to be made by available light. Since it was saturday, the teacher was able to get the cafeteria opened to us which had many windows so we did window light pictures. I should have gotten a little more help. Some came out good , some didn't.. I had Andrea and her friend as models. A lot of the students were taking pictures of them. They were good models, and had lots of fun. It was a new experience for them. I need models at 8:00am next saturday. That was too early for teenagers. They had so much fun, they decided they would do it. B u t the friends mother wouldn't let her do it again. She was afraid someone would do something with the pictures. We are supposed to get model releases and when they are underage, the parent has to sign. Marisa and Marcus work on Saturday. I guess I'll use someone else's models.
I am back! Test is over, reports written, a portrait class today at 3:00. I am using Andrea and her friend as my models, still raining and it is supposed to be out doors. Maybe it will quit by then, if not the instructor said we will do window light, under covers of buildings, whatever we can find. We have another class next sat. early in the morning and it is not supposed to be raining.
Tell Dioni I don't like March anymore either! We already started spring and now this. It hailed twice and I do have pictures of a white yard but I liked the way it really hit the water!It is not supposed to rain again until tomorrow night and then for a few more days.
Another flower! I don't do much else so I am thankful spring is almost here. It is starting to look like spring, even tho it is raining and we have another week of rain. We have had almost our year's totals and still a few months to go.
Magnolias are a small spring blooming small tree. They are so pretty. Someday I am going to put one into the backyard.
You just never know what you are going to see when you walk past the art department at a junior college. Many more heads there and they are all interesting!
Grandma Gibbs! Quite a lady! How old was shed when she started selling Avon. I was 16 when grandpa died so that was 1953 or close to that year. She was more than likely born in the late 1990's so that made her pretty old when she started selling. I think selling was in her genes and in hers but not in mine. BUT I eventually got her camera (after mother). It was a good camera. They don't make film to fit it anymore. Aunt Velma was more into the photography and arts so I consider myself taking after her. I didn't think of her when I first got into it though. I would have liked talking to her more. Smokey always had the camera around his neck. Otherwise we probably would not have had any old pictures.
