I always hated being photographed. My mother has albums full of me darting out of frame, turning my head away, hiding my face with my hands. Things were not improved by my encounter with THIS guy.  "Trust me." I tried. So he insisted on a pose that made me look pissed off and pregnant when I was neither. Thanks for nothing.

Richard, you can photograph me anytime!

Look at these. I'm in white face and I don't look dead. It looks right. The mo (my train) isn't vanishing into the backdrop.  The colors in my kasane are true.

(Unfortunately, you can also see what a piece of crap the Beta test hiogi truly is. Uneven edges, gaps, holes from the first set of laces that never lined up properly. (I really do need to decide what I'm painting on the new one and finish the thing.)  Might stick with the pine tree motif - that, at least, came out well.)

I really like the shot that catches the whole outfit. Very nice!

Ooh! The pinkness! (Page 2 and 3) Surprisingly that is NOT my favorite outfit of the bunch. My favorite is the little blonde who has managed to wear, rather than be worn by, that amazing white gown.

That was the Madame de Pompadour entry. You should've seen it in person - the whole thing was covered with little crystals and beads. She looked amazing.

There are a bunch more entries, but didjiman hasn't uploaded those yet.
