Windows of the Soul

They say that the eyes are the windows of the soul. I love how I was able to capture dramatic eye expressions on a random Monday holiday afternoon. ;>

But of course, the photographer should have a photo as well ;p

Phenomenal Woman

A poem by Maya Angelou

Pretty women wonder where my secret lies.
I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion model's size
But when I start to tell them,
They think I'm telling lies.
I say,
It's in the reach of my arms
The span of my hips,
The stride of my step,
The curl of my lips.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

I walk into a room
Just as cool as you please,
And to a man,
The fellows stand or
Fall down on their knees.
Then they swarm around me,
A hive of honey bees.
I say,
It's the fire in my eyes,
And the flash of my teeth,
The swing in my waist,
And the joy in my feet.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

Men themselves have wondered
What they see in me.
They try so much
But they can't touch
My inner mystery.
When I try to show them
They say they still can't see.
I say,
It's in the arch of my back,
The sun of my smile,
The ride of my breasts,
The grace of my style.
I'm a woman

Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

Now you understand
Just why my head's not bowed.
I don't shout or jump about
Or have to talk real loud.
When you see me passing
It ought to make you proud.
I say,
It's in the click of my heels,
The bend of my hair,
the palm of my hand,
The need of my care,
'Cause I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

Child Portraiture

Earlier today, my uncle showed me an online album of an English photographer and the album I was able to view were portraits of babies. The photographer had a studio and her shots of the babies were really lovely. I got a little inspired today and talked my youngest sister, Vanessa, into posing for me. She would always say yes whenever I tell her that I'm compiling my shots of her in my "Artwork Collection." Sure, I have no studio yet (except for my Underground studio - where everything is improvised ;p) but that won't stop me from taking portraits of my favorite models. ;)

You may checkout the rest of my portraiture shots at:
