  1. Hate when that happens! Lost the whole LONG comment - grrrr

    Summary - first image works - very well.
    Combo of composition, leveling of characters, tension, indifference, obliviousness, expression and body posture.
    Nice
    second is close - but expression and body tension is not as strong and natural asin 1st.

    Like 3rd image - but - newspaper shoved up your butt - well - too distracting and speaks to other issues that you are not discussin:)

    Nice apron.
    Sasha - you be quite the trooper girl!

    looking forward to seeing the series expansion.

    I think you should do a full calendar - would be/could be very lucrative or, just a real kick to produce...
    Do a search and see what is out there now, but I can't remember seeing anything quite like this....

  2. Wow Patti, I just had the same thing happen. Mother bitch.

    Well, I agree about image 3 being distracting with the newspaper rumpage.

    However, I prefer image 2 to image 1. Here's why...

    I find the bottle in the back of #1 distracting, my eye is pulled back into the center of the photo, whereas is #2, Sasha's active use of the bottle cause it to flow into the composition

    You are coming more forward in #2, towards the viewer

    There is a strong diagonal line between the two of you, which appears to me as a visual wall that conveys a strong tone of indifference/ the separation between masculinity and femininity

    The position of Sasha's leg creates an interesting shadow

    Only thing I would change is get rid of the rose leaf that looks like it's going into Sasha's nose

    All that being said, I think these are beautiful images and I am excited to see prints! Way to go Christian, this is a great body of work.
