I love pin up models

[emquilting]

I always have loved pin up models. Rosie the riviter was a great icon when I was younger. My mother got offered a position as a national model for a salon and she turned it down. I still wish she had taken it. I tried to be a mode a few years ago. I got told I was too large old short AKA You have a great personality wisdom and integrity. I laugh at it.

I occasionally get people that speak before they think. I get really old men that think I am hot the way I am. The occasional ego boost from younger men. The thrill of my life that is the ultimate turn on for me is being a photographer.
Even when I am modeling I am thinking about being behind the lens. I have to think a word or phrase to keep from messing up the shot. In that same thing I can look at some one and take them out of what they are thinking. My favorite subjects are friends. They know me and are willing to let go. Every one that has ever hired me has bee a bit stiff. I spend time telling them to breath then getting the shot I want.

My work bothers some people. They do not want to have people see it. Yet they have a compulsion to show it off.
I tried to explain what I see to one of my friends she did not understand it. I took her photos and she could not believe the woman she saw. We hide behind so much that when a real photograph is taken its amazing. My mother is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. Yet she has never had a good photo in her life. Every one should have at least one photo that says who they were. I have a few that are my favorites. It changes as my style changes.
