I generally pick out what Janet will wear each day and help her get dressed. Which probably accounts for all the gray that she wears. I love to photograph her in either gray or red.
Well, this morning I got engaged in other things so she took it upon herself to dress. When she came into the computer room I had to have a photograph. She had the knit shawl thrown around her shoulder like a boa and the Tilly hat was a little catawampus. I grabbed the yard of dark green flannel that I bought last week at Hobby Lobby and tacked it up for a background because I thought her shirt was greener than it was. I obviously don't have her flair for fashion because what I put on her is not nearly as interesting. I love the photo. I love practically everything Janet does. She is always a surprise.
Janet very seldom wore jewelry and if she did it was very subdued but over the past couple of years I have bought her a few inexpensive pieces and she seems to really enjoy them. Recently when we have been visiting antique shops I have looked at some of the heavier gaudier 1950 period necklaces and I think I will pick up a couple because I think she would really enjoy them. I may yet end up with a fashion plate. Of course I will need to encourage her to wear something more than just socks below the waist.
I like it too Gary. I always love the ones of Janet in her hat and I know she enjoys wearing it. I don't think I mentioned how nice the lighting was on the one with her eyes closed. Janet has beautiful white hair and the lighting really highlighted the top and side in that shot.
ReplyDeleteI believe Janet is now making up for all those years she wouldn't allow you to take her photo!
