I took these this morning,still half asleep persuading myself that I really want to do it....in a normal state of mind I would not.
The shooting was a torture anyway...., editing was fun.
AND: my family made fun of me. Really. How sad to live that long to experience this. My daughter explained to me that I am from the ancient generation where Facebook was not even invented - so I am not used to taking pictures of myself and posting them every day like they do....oh well.

Let me be the first to say Bravo! danrav · 2012-07-22: 08:10

Now that this American has the first word on your unveiling - let me be the first to say you are need to show your beautiful face more. Congrats..... You are a big girl now in the modern age..... danrav · 2012-07-22: 08:12

so you think tomie look better that me? hummm, then you look better than jennifer aniston! georgeC · 2012-07-23: 18:01

Lovely :)) I'm so glad you did it. Lovely quality in #2 reminds me of a portrait from the 1940's And #4 is lovely. You've caught yourself looking happy and oblivious to the camera. Not easy to do that :)) Really none of this would have happened without you. Your comment triggered a whole lot of thoughts and this fabulous day came out of it. I never would have thought of it otherwise. A very Big thank you x caroleagle · 2012-07-23: 18:21

Very creative! pandka · 2012-07-24: 09:44

I'm doing a blurb book of all the entries. Can I use yours? caroleagle · 2012-07-24: 09:51
