I've been in 85 challenges at dpc. Twenty of those challenges, I've used my wife as my model. I decided to summarize my challenges using her. I've created a pdf file here if you'd like to check it out.

As it turns out, my score using her is just about the same as my score when I didn't use her.

The images in the pdf file are clickable, just so you know.

It looks like you are a close couple and that she is very comfortable with herself. I'm guessing that the moments you've shared, creating these images, have been a bonding experience that many couples envy.

Nice work.

Hopper you lucky man. Your wife is very beautiful and photogenic. I have entered 64 challenges, and don't have a single photo of my wife. She hates having her photo taken, or better said if it doesn't make her look like a supermodel, hates it, so I guess to prevent being accused of making her look ugly, I don't take many photos of her. A shame realy as I love her how she is, and the world can't be full of supermodels.

She certainly is beautiful. No wonder you managed an average above 6.

some beautiful pictures! I can't believe some of them didn't score higher. But then I don't ever quite understand some people's mentality in scoring. I love the portrait of her on the cement, for instance, which only scored a 5.9... go figure.
Great job!

Cool! Must do the same when I have entered 20 shots of my wife too, I´m halfway there, have "used" her in 10 challenges so far :p

Oh and your wife sure is a cutie, no surprise she got you 6+ in 20 challenges :)

Request accepted, will do!

Dude, you are a lucky man. I've entered 7 challenges and I don't have a wife! Even worse, in the time since I started entering challenges, I haven't even had a date! :)

Didn't you used to have a pic in your portfolio of her in some purple/red undergarments laying on her back or something? The way you captured here eyes in that one was superb... Can't seem to find it now. I think it was a portfolio image rather than a challenge submission, so maybe it's gone...

Nice to do a small tribute to her.

I bet she appreciates it. Your comments on your photos are nice too.

This is the last challenge I used my wife as a model.

My trial starts next Monday. :-)

Great pics hopper! I have recognized your wife in a number of the challenges.
