Finding my place

YAY! First note! :] I really like the pose you have in this one. Great facial expression!

I love how there seems to be an endlessness to this bamboo type forest thing.

you put your mouth a lot like that :P very handsome with light eyes, but embrace your nature ! hehehe

love the eyes

No belly!! i'm jealous!! j/k

loved ur shirt

great pic... but ummm.... are you wearing makeup?!

Colour of the t-shirt is awesome in combination with the background!

Want your shirt.

the rippled shirt adds texture along with the bamboo. Love it!

u r perfect!!

BIG BAMBOO

Rosie and I went to the Sarah P. Duke gardens today and got an exclusive tour around by the director of the gardens. He also happens to be my dad :) It is an awesome place, and even in winter when not much is in bloom, still provides some great photo opportunities. Rosie and I played in some bamboo, doing our sweet model poses and making picture time.
