rowangolightlySomething actually accomplished today...a new icon. I wasted all morning sorta learned how to work with Gimp and post an image but didn't get done, and then with Amber's help this afternoon, it's accomplished. Yes, I'm an awful computer dummy...or rather, the gaps in my knowledge are gaping and frustrating.
Still had a very frustrating morning but at least now something has been completed...one less frustration.
This is from a photo shoot with T.Michael Stanley when he was hosting a seminar with Jay Stock. I was astonished that Mom agreed to pose, as shy as she was. But I'm so glad she did...I really treasure these pictures. And I was stunned at the time at how very much alike we look, I was always told how much I looked like my father but really, if you stood me right in between them, you would've realized that I'm half of each...
Mom and I were very, very close and similar in a lot of ways but very dissimilar in some very reassuring ways. I'm a whole lot more self-secured and well, certainly not shy...but in essential ways she was the best friend I'll ever have. I miss her but I know in essential ways she's still with me. She gave me music, my sense of humor and my love of silliness, my compassion and my temper, too.
Anyway....here's my new icon.

Whenever a seminar was scheduled, T. Michael would call me and say, "ok, what've you got *this* time?" knowing that I have all sorts of costumes and interesting friends. We did Renaissance and Victorian shoots, generations (of which this image was one), boudoir portraiture and several others. There was supposed to be a book come out on the impressionistic boudoir portraits but I don't see it on his site. And yes, several of us you know were in those shots.
