Description "I want to remember this moment forever." he whispered as he closed his eyes..

She felt uncertain of the future and worried, "If you close your eyes you might miss the moment." she replied,

The fairy watching them smiled, she gave them a little magic... They were to be torn apart by class, but with the help of this fairy, the man's fortunes were about to change...

I had a lot of fun with this one, I accidentally messed up a few things and I think I recovered the mistakes pretty well (I'm not telling you where I messed up )


The concept sort of came to me while I was putting in the fairy. Originally I was considering a Midsummer Night's dream kind of theme but this piece came together instead. I still plan to make a Midsummer Night's Dream but I'm going to have to do another shoot to make that stock. I have some ideas after all..

Anyways, I truly hope you enjoy!

You won't believe this hun...but my mom just told me today that she can't wait to take more photos. There are a few things that I'm saving for: black angel wings, a witch's hat and a beautiful mask. So you can DEFINITELY expect more photos from me. I'm your own personal South African stock model. I had so much fun the last time that I can't wait to take more. And I'll focus on some sweet faery poses.

Thanks! I just wish I'd managed to get the lighting perfect between the two people. I tried color burn and a few other techniques but nothing fixed it *grumble*

Not that I think it needs fixing but did you try Hue/Adjustments? I use that allot for adjusting peoples skin colors in order to make them match.

The lighting on the two people is a little too obviously different, though that could be my strange computer screen picking it up where it isn't a problem for others. But otherwise I love it, it's a beautiful concept, and sad.

And... I want her dress and cloak! XD

It is. It kept spitting out messages at me before about not being able to save stuff, or my comment couldn't be added or something *headdesk* but it does go away eventually. :3

Funny you should mention that... My husband often says that's how I am when I get on a project (He's tried to drag me away and discovered I refuse to move till I have it "perfect" or at least as close as I think I can get.)

I'm like that with my writing universe.. though, I tend to pace myself... if I don't eat and sleep and pee I tend to get sick. Ages back I spent six months constructing a database for a breeding program in my series universe... now I have 600 odd names and their files of random characters within the universe spanning about 100 years, and I've really only used about 50 of the files for the story.. *chuckle* I spent a whole week almost non-stop trying to get my maps for one of the planets working, it still sucks and I'm still trying to figure out how to do it better, though that project is on the back burner until I can understand the method of map construction, same with my 46-star star map... figured out how to draw a perspective drawing of the 3 dimentions of it, but I don't have the expertise to make the flash file of the 3d star map. You know, I think it must be an obsessive writer thing! ;D

Emacs for windows has a wonderful program you can download called org.mode. Do a search on youtube there's a wonderful presentation on the subject. (My husband did it but I promise it's not bias that I send you there for it).

I was going for the old style hair, where it was worn long and tied in the back. Unfortunately, I had to draw it..
