    Congrats to Grandma on making it to #4 on Explore!!!

    Grandma was kind enough to sit for some photos while I was visiting her. She really hammed it up. She's a better model than most of the models I've worked with.

    SB600 to right of camera,pointed up at face 1/64 power

      I don't usually fave family shots of someone I don't know, but I just fell in love with this portrait as soon as I saw it on Explore. It is really, really wonderful.

      I talked to your grandma today and she was pretty tickled when I told her she made Explore! She is so proud of you...I am too.

      that's because she has many stories to tell
      most conventional models lack the life experience to convey in their expression because they are too young, so really it's not their fault
