a compliment that made my heart smile...

i was playing at the camera shop yesterday. printing pictures in the back of the store. talking to all the men that work there. it's one of those places i feel so comfortable in. they know me since i visit often. sometimes all i have are questions but they don't mind that all. and if i have some dust that needs to be blown out of my camera. well they love doing that for me. anyhow. after i was done printing my photos i showed this one to keith and he said he didn't realize i was scanning old photos onto cd's and printing them. i said i wasn't. i told him this was from a shoot a few weeks ago.
he said the old~soft~dreamy look of the photo was fantastic.
just beautiful and had obviously fooled him.
and
honestly
that's the only compliment i need this week
*
now granted
if anyone tells me that my hair {that i hate} looks nice
or
comments on my new skinny legged jeans which i'm not 100% sure a 46 year old mom should even be wearing in the first place
i'll take those
too
but
the photo compliment
from a photographer
at the camera store
who has seen millions of photos and has never said anything before to me about my photos
~we usually talk cameras~
kind of put me over the moon
~
i'll come back down to earth tomorrow
probably

  7. Makes up for the comment that you were degrading your photos, the comment from the photo purist. You get to choose who's right by how it makes you feel.

  15. LOL... I don't know about your hair cause I can't see it from here, BUT... I'm wearing those skinny jeans at 45... so, hush, girl. We can wear them. :-) And I already know you're skinny enough to look good in them. I'm almost skinny enough, but that's good enough for me. I get them a size too big so they aren't skin tight.
