[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 397251, member: 13090"] I got back into photography as extension of my hiking/exploring/geocaching sort of ways and never really considered myself a portrait photographer sort of guy; the whole concept just didn't interest me. Then the girlfriend drug me to a one-day class on shooting models outdoors. I figured I could handle that and agreed to go. In so doing I found a whole new side of photography I had willfully locked myself out of. Then I decided I really wanted to photograph Pearl and asked her if she'd be willing. [COLOR=#FFFFFF].....[/COLOR] She's never modeled before, never had her photo taken with any sort of real intent. She's a young girl who has a hard row to hoe in life and I wanted to show that when I photographed her. She's a tough little number but a "girly girl" at heart. Maybe it's because I know her in ways you don't but I really feel I connected with her and was able to put across her vulnerability as well as her tough exterior. I don't think I'm going to find anything I shot this year I like better.
