ipernity: The Eyes Behind the Camera

Heidiho ^club

Ein starkes Selbstporträt.
Ich lese den Text unter dem Bild, und denke:
da steht eine starke Frau hinter der Kamera.
Die Kamera ist ein Schutz und zugleich eine Waffe.
Alles Gute für Dich, Valerie !

Hello Val! This turned out really well and congrats on going out on that limb. (I tried doing several myself and it's not easy to do. :-O

8 years ago.

Valfal ^club has replied to Karen's Place ^club

Thanks so very much, Karen! You are quite right, it is not easy to take a shot like this. It was even more challenging because I didn't really have good lighting or background. The black and white conversion covers a multitude of evil, lol! ;-)
