longhairbroad's photostream
|
I am 51.
I haven't been at this longer than a few years, but I fell deeply in love with photography real fast.
Many of the shots on this photostream was taken with my little hp photosmart M425. It's not fancy, but it's mine. I love this magical little box.
=====Update=====
I purchased a Nikon D40 in May of 2009 and am as excited as can be! I love using the older film lenses on it and they can be gotten for a song on ebay if you are patient. It helps me to learn more about the technical aspects of exposure using these non metering, manual lenses. I still have a LOT to learn, though. This is mostly about having fun and learning about textures and light, while showing that beauty can be found in some unexpected places.

Oliver Wood Photography says:
"LHB has a wonderful sense of abstraction in apparently everyday subjects. I find her photo stream to be very inspiring as there is always something to delight the eye and many beautifully configured shots orchestrating subject and light into classic and contemporary artistic forms."

Raja Daja says:
"A smile comes to my face whever I see a post by LHB...simple and yet complex, often leaving my mind to do the hard work.
Fun, the missing element in so many shots, is the prime element in Cynthia work, for that I respond with a huge smile always."8th February, 2008

amuse says:
"She may have recently began her photographic adventures, but that is not important. What is important is that LHB has an incredible eye for what is interesting, and that she is learning fast because of her keen critical honesty. So watch out for LHB to continue to excel! She has natural gifts."

"Why has no one established a kind word for Cynthia? At least this means then, I get to be the first one to declare my fondness for her sense of color, her soulful approach for capturing the humanity in her subjects-- and wisdom and truthfulness in her own self portraits.
So happy to have stumbled across her images."5th May, 2007
