update: miracles of miracles, they think they were able to save my tooth and i'm sitting at home with a temporary crown. i was in the dentist chair for about five hours today while they worked me in and did an emergency root canal on the spot. i'm a bit sore but so far, so good.
theme class has wrapped and i'm struggling with what to take next - i need to take a photoshop class in order to get into the advanced photography class. but...i'm wondering if i can get a pass because i'm not sure how often they offer the advanced class. the shots you're looking at today were for my last theme "rainy day women #12 and 35"....the limitations were that we could not shoot anything with drugs or any images of bob dylan. ms. c is always such a good sport and jumped right into doing some of the shoot in the rain. my favorites are the 2nd and last shot.

today on my ipod (mellow monday around here) - turpentine (brandi carlisle), hang (matchbox 20), hey there delilah (plain white t's), one (u2), solitary man (covered by chris isaak), i'm yours (jason mraz), because i told you so (jonatha brooke), close to you (far too jones), nobody knows me (lyle lovett), lover's cross (jim croce)
These photos are great - the eyes on the first, and the last one is so fun! It's actually a really wonderful photo.

i think the first one has very sad eyes. but i love the last one.
ReplyDeleteYay, they saved your tooth (boo, five hours in the chair)!
ReplyDeleteI love these photos. They have such presence.
So glad for you and your smile! Terrific shots...favorite is the last one.
ReplyDeleteChar I am glad they were able to save it. was thinking of you wondering how you were making out. The photos are gorgeous. I really really like the last one. feel better, hugs.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you and your mouth are doing okay. These photos are great! I love the last one too.
ReplyDeleteOuch about the long time spent in the dentist's chair as well as the accident that took you there. I can sympathize totally, since I spent almost the same amount of time at the dentist last week. Good news about the insurance as well!
ReplyDeleteMy favorites are the first and the last...especially the last. She is a great model.
one minute in the dentist chair makes me cringe! Glad you got that over with. The series of photos is great I particularly love the 1st and the last photos.
ReplyDeleteI love these pictures - the melancholy of the rain, and the girl's expressive eyes, and that pretty parasol.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you're on the mend with the tooth! And the two that you mentioned are my favorites, too. In fact, I love the second one.
ReplyDeleteSo happy to hear your dental trauma is fixable - what a scary thing! These photos are great - that last one is magical...the pose, the smile, the rain...just magical!
ReplyDeletegood news on your smile ... wow! what an amazing series of shots..and rain even...wonderful
ReplyDeleteFive hours? Yikes! But at least there is a bit of good news in all that.
ReplyDeleteI didn't realize you were going to school for photography. Good for you! The last shot is my fave : )
Dental work is not fun, but glad to hear your good news. It will be worth it in the end.
ReplyDeleteI think your portfolio can get you into an advanced class. Go for it.
Oh I love the last shot!!
ReplyDeletethat last shot is AMAZING.....amazing i tell you !
ReplyDeleteand yikes....you poor thing !
5 frickin hours ?.....tell me you had your ipod with you.
I love that last shot! It's perfect. (It also makes me want to get some rain shots in!)
ReplyDeleteyeah on the tooth save!! and ohhh, that last photo is wonderful!!! the colors are so rich - awesome.
ReplyDeletethey are all wonderful, but my favorites are the first and last.
ReplyDeletethe dentist completely 100% freaks me out. even just a standard cleaning. Love how happy she looks in the last image, great catch.
ReplyDeleteNow you can relax that it's over anyway. Love your photography!

Oh my, that sounds painful, but glad to hear you're taking it in stride. Loving the rainy day photos--we could use some around here!
ReplyDeletexo Mary Jo
ooh glad about your tooth Char. and she is adorable what great shots looks like she enjoyed herself actually.
ReplyDeleteDental work is such a problem, isn't it? I'm getting ready for yet another crown. I love your sequence, particularly the first and last. Two very different moods. The blue umbrella really makes the photo pop. I hope you heal well and can get the class you want.
ReplyDeleteYour pictures are amazing! I must embrace the rain the next time we get hit and send the kids out to play:)
ReplyDelete(sorry I couldn't even read about your tooth drama. major dental fear here!)
Love that last shot! I've been in a similar boat, at 41 years old, I finally had my wisdom teeth removed last Friday- beginning to feel like I can eat again!
ReplyDeleteFUN photo shoot!!!
ReplyDeleteglad the dentist trip turned out ok. hope the pain doesn't last too long.
ReplyDeletethese shots are great. i especially like the last one. well done.
Dentists can perform miracles these days...even if it does entail sitting forever in a very uncomfortable position. Glad your tooth was save-able:)
ReplyDeleteThese photos are great! My favorite is the second even if I can't see her pretty face...love the lines... I'm trying to decide if I want to spend the money I don't have on another photography class this fall...I need to take a photoshop class too as a prerequisite to most of the others...
omigosh char, i'm so sorry to hear about your accident! hopefully you will soon be on the mend. i love your shots here, especially the last one. beautiful!
ReplyDeleteYikes, your dental trip sounds awful! Good news though that they were able to save the tooth. I'm loving your photos, especially the last one which is so full of energy!
ReplyDeleteoh and I love your new banner!!
ReplyDeleteHi Char! The pictures are fabulous, and I agree with you on the shots. #2 and #5 are perfect. She's an excellent model. Glad the tooth will be okay.
ReplyDeleteso glad to hear about that tooth!
ReplyDeletelove the first shot!
xo
Oh, I feel your pain. I am in for a 2 hour appointment next week for the same sort of thing. I'd rather do almost anything than sit in that chair for two hours. uugghh.
ReplyDeletethat last shot is pure magic. seriously.
