Revas Rags 2 Roses: deep thoughts

" IT TAKES A LOT OF COURAGE TO SHOW YOUR DREAM TO SOMEONE ELSE "

ERMA BOMBECK

I GOTTA SAY A BIG THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO COMMENTED YESTERDAY ;)
IT'S FUNNY, BUT WHEN YOU START LOOKING FOR THE 'CLUES'
THAT LEAD YOU TO YOUR TRUE NATURE, THEY POP UP VERY QUICKLY.

I STARTED THE "FASHION AND PHILOSOPHY" SERIES A WHILE BACK, TO LET OTHER'S IN AND SEE WHAT MAKES ME TICK. A FORTY-SOMETHING WHO HAS THE KIND OF THOUGHTS I HOPE WE ALL HAVE, AND A VENUE FOR SHARING THE SOLUTIONS TO THOUGHTS AND QUESTIONS REGARDING ART AND STYLE FOR THE OVER-40 CROWD, OR ANYONE WHO SHARES MY PASSION FOR FASHION (WHICH INVOLVES REACHING DEEPER THAN MY CLOSET SOMETIMES).

THE FIRST CLUE WAS IN THE WONDERFUL COMMENTS
WHICH GAVE ME A SENSE OF FRIENDSHIP AND SUPPORT.
THE OTHER WAS THE LOST FOLLOWER I GOT ;)
BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY, FOR THE FIRST TIME,
THE LACK OF SELF-DOUBT THAT CAME WITH IT.
SO, THE CLUES I RECEIVED WERE TO DO AND BE WHATEVER I CHOOSE AND STOP WORRYING SO MUCH ABOUT THE SMALL STUFF AND JUST CREATE.
(THE ORIGINAL GOAL OF THIS BLOG IN THE FIRST PLACE)....

SO AS A WANNA-BE PHOTOGRAPHER,

I MOVED MY CAMERA WAY UP HIGH ONTO A TABLE AND BEGAN TO SHOOT. AFTERWARDS, I PUT MY ON MY HEADPHONES, AND BEGAN TO LISTEN TO THE BLUES, WATER MY SOUL AND ENJOY CREATING JUST FOR THE SAKE OF CREATING. WITH LACE AND HARLEY BOOTS, MY HAT AND FREEDOM FROM MY SELF-DOUBT, HERE ARE SOME SHOTS I REALLY LIKE. (PLUS I WAS HAVING A REALLY GOOD HAIR DAY ;) ALL IMAGES WERE

SELF-EDITED, TOO !

(YES, I AM BRAGGING, SO SHOOT ME)

GET IT? :) - SHOOT ME....

TOTAL IMAGES: 18

MY GOAL TO BE A PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHER BY 50 IS STILL ON! (IF YOU'RE ON A FIRST-NAME BASIS WITH SANTA, PLEASE TELL HIM I NEED SOME NEW LENSES)...
