Emily Bem Well, I'm glad you like it, Mal.

Oh, and green is harder to shake than you think....but it will have to make way soon here for my other favorite colour. Good grief....I really am a dork.

Yours are the kind of photos that grow more valuable as the years go by. I think you love photography.

Emily Bem Well, you "think" right. :)

I really do. It sure doesn't feel like a hobby...it feels like a part of me. I know sometime in the future I will have more time for it and that's a comfort.

Thank you so much, King....

Emily
Your eyes... MESMERIZE
And this is not the only shot that you have that does.

Emily Bem I'm really happy to hear that, Jerry...you have no idea!

What a beauty. I would take more self portrait with a face like this. Oh, yes.
How do you manage to get this look in your eyes? It's extremely difficult for me not to look like I get shot or something like that.
And than your colors! I never could imagine that green can be so "suitable" in a picture like this. But you show this not for the first time. ;)

Emily Bem Oh, Anna.....THANKS!!!! As far as my "look" goes...you only see one of the images from the "shoot"..ha ha! Most of them are not so...well...convincing. I really am better behind the camera than in front. It can be daunting doing these, but just keep at it...if it's something that interests you. If I recall you have a killer one that doesn't show your face. :) You expressed more without that face, than most can with one! I think you have all you need to do a smashing sp...just be bold!

:)

Anna Lepke Very kind of you, Emily. I'll keep trying. :)

Em, you are the master...
/Thomas

Emily Bem Well, that is debatable....but it means a great deal that YOU think so!!!! Now, go take some pics of your mug and get it up here !!!

:)))))

Thomas Ljungberg LOL... I'm working on it but familylife is comming first right now. Soon though... I hope...
/Thomas

Emily Bem Oooooh....I totally get it. Family life is the reason I don't take many pics anymore. It can be frustrating, but I wouldn't have it any other way! ;)

WOW, are those lashes for real?! :) Well.. That´s one fabulous portrait again, Em! Fantastic light and I love the desaturated colors.

I´m just wondering, Em.. Are those curtains again what I´m seeing ? =)

Emily Bem Ha ha! Nope. I put some fake lashes on for this....I looked like such a dork, but I think it added a little something here.

Hey, and knock it off about the curtains!
I don't use them in EVERY shot....

:)))))

Thomas Ljungberg If you are done with the lashes, maybe you could send them over to me... maybe that is all needed for that "out of the ordinary" look...
/Thomas

Emily Bem L M A O !!!!

Well, if you think it will help...ha ha!

Ilja Hackman LoL! :)

Yup! Lashes look great, greens look great and "curtains" look great :) It´s all good, Em!

Emily Bem DAMN. I thought I was being elusive by not directly answering your question about the curtains...you are too sly for me! Ha ha!

:)

Ilja Hackman =)

Beautiful eyes, You do amazing self portraiture ...

Emily Bem Well, I have very few models.....so sometimes I'm all I have to work with....ha ha! I really prefer to be behind the camera, but my kids need a break, so hear I am again. I think I'm going to force my husband into modeling again.... he is gonna loooooooove that...LOL!

:)

Shazeen Samad You must make him!!! :)

Emily Bem I WILL! :)

Shazeen Samad Yep! you will, I can see from that eyes ;)
