you have the most beautiful daughters .. and they both study ballet?? .. its a very demanding and rigorous art .. but i think its a wonderful thing for young children to learn with the discipline etc .. i did it as a child for about 5 minutes .. i'm not the sporty type tho .. more the sit around drawing type .. joyah does seem to be giving you a bit'v attitude, but that life eh ? .. and the expression is something that adds to this photograph i reckon, coz it tells a story !! :)

she is just gorgeous .. and wot an unusual name .. does it have a meaning or did you make it up .. I LOVE IT !!! .. i reckon it suits her to a T .. my daughter did ballet for a while and we've got some photographs of her at one of the little concerts they have .. she was all dressed up like a pony .. well a pony with a leotard and ballet shoes on !! .. she had a little hat thing with pointy ears .. she was sooooooo cute .. this is a beautiful age .. i'm hoping that all's well in your world, which i didnt realise till today was nz .. i thought you were in america or something .. silly me .. so we are neighbours .. :)x

Story

mad .. this definitely has a story, and it looks like a sad one too ..
she looks like she's looking at the bottle and thinking 'i should'v stopped at one, or maybe two, and not the ten i finally had!!' .. i mean its probably water, but in my mind its a very large bottle of alcohol which has caused her such distress .. altho if she had that much water it could cause distress too !!!!!!!
you are funny .. saying you had to crop out the poor guy with the white hair and white shirt .. with your processing skills you could'v given him a hair job in minutes .. !!!!!!!!!! lol .. and i've found that the things we feel are bad elements in a photograph often appeal to other ppl .. but of course you are creating the image for your likes and dislikes ..
the gangster guy probably just didnt like his photograph being taken, FOR OBVIOUS REASONS !!!!!!
great shot alicia .. and a great story, even if mine was a bit different to the real thing .. it happens !!!!!!! :):)x

Tarjay

you crack me up .. i saw the title .. 'tarjay' ... and laughed out loud .. we have target here too and call it tarjay !!! .. funny the things you learn in dpc and not all of it has to do with photography !!!!!!!! ..
i love the perspective and the colours and those excellent reflections .. the 'gang' up the end is an added bonus, especially that guy in the white t-shirt, who seems to be looking straight at you with attitude !!! .. :)

Ladies in Red Day 23

how funny is that .. often the things you dont plan are the very things that create an excellent photograph .. and this scene could nearly be just down the road from where i live .. well about 7km .. there's an area with farms and its very dry and hilly .. the road looks the same as well, and there's no-one driving on the wrong side of the road .. :)
