Oh, I plan to, believe me.
I can only keep my fingers crossed that she'll keep on the path to her
transformation into a beautiful young woman, but time can be cruel.
Hell, I was kind of cute at one time in my life, myself, but the wheels
came off abruptly and in rather dramatic fashion.

Walt,
Take the opportunity when you can.
A college buddy was very impressed with the 13 year old baby sitter.
He speculated what a stunner she'd be at 16... and she wasn't.
Sometimes it doesn't work out.

Thank you, Bob.
The great thing is that the girl is all of 13 years old, so she's still got
some growing to do. (I thought she was a few years older 'til yesterday,
when her mom mentioned it in passing.) I figure she's just going to keep
getting prettier for quite some time and will lose a bit of that cherubic
look as her bone structure takes shape.
She loves having her picture taken, and was just thrilled with the
experience she had yesterday. I suspect I'll get some great photos of that
young lady in the years to come. I'm really looking forward to it.

Walt,
That's a very nice set to start with.
The model has an absolute 'moon' face.
This could be good or bad for her photos,
but it raises some real possibilities for you.
Her smile has the Taylor Swiftish look like Frank mentioned,
but some of the more sober expressions are really beautiful.
She doesn't need to smile to produce a unique and attractive image.
Regards, Bob S.

I woke up today with an itch to take some photos and decided, what the
hell
-- I'll see if I can find someone to pose for me. So, I updated my
Facebook
status to see if anyone might be interested. Shortly thereafter, I got a
response from a friend of mine who's been telling me for quite a while
that
she wants me to photograph her daughter. She was ready to get it underway
within two hours, but I told her I had to make some arrangements with a
friend of mine to see if I could use his place to take some shots and
that
we ought to shoot for the early afternoon, just to give him a little bit
of
notice. I called, he agreed, and we all went out there and started
shooting.
This is the product after my initial run-through of the more easily
workable
shots:
http://www.flickriver.com/photos/walt_gilbert/sets/72157634187251295/
All shot with the K-5 and F50/1.7 with my recently purchased flash unit
attached. I didn't bother with any wireless stuff as I wanted to play it
safe and didn't want any big surprises. Also, I didn't realize until I
got
home that I'd had the diffuser in my pocket the whole time. So, some of
the
shots came out a tad harsh, but overall, I have to say I'm pretty pleased
with what I was able to do. All shots were done hand-held with manual
flash.
Comments appreciated.
Thanks!
