Learning People Skills


This evening friends dropped by for a dinner of Taco Salad and cookies. After our meal, the men visited around the table and the women had fun dressing up the teen-age girls in costumes for a photo session. Reminiscent of childhood dress-up days, it was so much fun! Photographing people is different than the usual still-life photography I enjoy. Lighting is especially challenging, but rewarding when it turns out just right. I have much to learn, but enjoyed the process so much! I'm eager to learn more and to practice until I get it right. This evening, my bedroom was heaped with gowns, scarves, shoes, and gems as the girls changed outfits many times. Such fun!

  5. Your photo was great! Oh how I wish I could do so well. I loved just the touch of color on her hem. Are you planning to do something with your photography or is this just for fun. Either way it is very lovely.
