ColdDarkSilent [2009-10-04 08:02:07 +0000 UTC]

I love her expression; it feels really authentic... it's one of those things that you either feel and understand or you are unable to capture at all...

I definitely agree with the Memoirs of a Geisha statement. This is so beautiful, but it makes me feel so sad. In the good way.

Granasaber [2009-10-03 18:07:15 +0000 UTC]

I favourited this photo not because of the obvious beauty of the photo, but because of the story and however I would've liked to have read a longer more personal account of the time you spent on the cold day with your model, I understood how it would've felt and it touched me and I understood the sentimentality of the photo.

I don't have the photos I've done with models in them on dA, but I have gone through some dreadfully cold days out shooting at times... Once it was -15 with a wicked wind chill and I asked my model to take his jacket off (so, he only had his t-shirt) and had to sit sideways on a bench made of metal. My hands were freezing too, I had a hard time operating the equipment. lol

Canadian weather, horrible, I know.

I really like this photo, even if you believe it's not your best.

This photo is just lovely to look at - calming somehow.

And the shoot really does sound like one of those you'd remember.
