necktie around neck

how i wish i have a model like carol w @sturnus has. i've tried all forms of bribery but partner doesn't want to be my plaything, er..i mean model. so yet again you get me, wearing partner's necktie, my favourite of all his necktie collection. one good thing is that he already agreed that we will set up the lighting gears i ordered and i will take our "official" portraits as this year is a banner year for both of us - i turned 60 in the summer and he will be 70 in a few week's time.

btw, my 'panning jack' pic is a finalist in the technique15 challenge. (pssst, i got in because there's not a lot of participation. tee-hee! might you go here http://365project.org/discuss/themes-competitions/19895/vote-technique-challenge-15 and make your vote. i'm not asking you to vote for me but for the one you think is the best of the lot. thank you.

Every time I see a hair shot for this theme the song from the musical (as performed by the Cowsills- I think) goes through my head: Give me a head with hair, long beautiful hair... Nice tie.

@olivetreeann - cowsills? whoa! i should get on youtube and look for them. i've not heard them in ages! thank you, ann.

@summerfield I am thinking of doing the same thing- if I could just tear myself away from 365!

[summerfield]

@olivetreeann - open another tab. that's what i do (and that's how i get side-tracked also from doing my rounds of commenting. ooops!)

Creative capture! @olivetreeann You have me singing it now, but I'm not going to click that link! Then I shall never get the song out of my head

[summerfield]

@salza - click it and sing with me! yes, ann @olivetreeann 'tis your fault!

I think I like the maple leaf one better! Partner would look so good in this?

@salza @summerfield

I'll get you started Sally- help her out Vikki...

Oh give me a head with hair, long beautiful hair
Shining, streaming, gleaming, flaxen, waxen
Won't you give me it down to there (hair!)
Shoulder length or longer (hair!)
Here baby, there mama
Everywhere daddy daddy hair!
Growing
Showing
Long as I can grow it my hair!!!!

another very classy image... really nice composition!

[Carol W]

I think this is pure class and you modelled it beautifully! I'm sorry your partner won't model for you though, Mr W was like that when I started out on 365 but loves it now, so you never know, there is hope yet! Love this shot, so good in B&W too.
