    I forgot how beautiful natural light can be. No flash, no bouncing.. just a bit of post editing. Thanks to Barbara for the hair idea. :)
    What do you think of "Is love blind?"?

    Yes, beautiful light. The "jump cut" from far to near (left to right) is dramatic and effective while the hair adds playfulness. Nice.

    night86mare, I have been thinking the same thing, although I've also been thinking what Gobble wrote. :)

    Hair Poem--George Carlin



    I'm aware some stare at my hair.

    In fact, to be fair,

    Some really despair of my hair.

    But I don't care,

    Cause they're not aware,

    Nor are they devonaire.

    In fact, they're just square.



    They see hair down to there,

    Say, "Beware" and go off on a tear!

    I say, "No fair!"

    A head that's bare is really nowhere.

    So be like a bear, be fair with your hair!

    Show it you care.

    Wear it to there.

    Or to there.

    Or to there, if you dare!



    My wife bought some hair at a fair, to use as a spare.

    Did I care?

    Au contraire!

    Spare hair is fair!

    In fact, hair can be rare.

    Fred Astair got no hair,

    Nor does a chair,

    Nor nor a chocolate eclair,

    And where is the hair on a pear?

    Nowhere, mon frere!



    So now that I've shared this affair of the hair,

    I'm going to repair to my lair and use Nair, do you care?

    I like the retro toning technique used in these photographs.
