Black & White Sunday: Portrait | A Day In The Life

September 4, 2016 at 11:38 pm

[…] This is one of my closest friends, June. I took this photo on a cold winter day in front of the restaurant we had just had lunch in. She never likes to smile in photos- she insists her smile is always crooked, her teeth too “English” as she is from Great Britain where straight teeth she has told me, are not as important as they are in America. She has a dry wit which seems to come through to me in this photo whenever I look at it. It is one of my favorite portraits. […]

  Thank you, Lynne. Yes, ping-backs are rarely enough, that’s why I always say to leave me the links bellow. Besides, I am not one of those challengers that does not display links to the entries or who avoids to look at the participating posts. And of course if one wants their post seen and commented, the logical thing is to first comment on the challenge post. Also, you should check out your spam folder. Many comments have ended up there lately.
