"...these days you might feel a shaft of light
make it's way across your face.
"See the Signs"
Thing #3
...see the signs and know their meaning."
-These Are the Days (10,000 Maniacs)
Two siblings getting married within a couple months of each other. Yep, I'm pretty sure Thing #3 has had her fill of Bridesmaid-hood for awhile. Sixteen years old. More at home in a pair of Doc Martens and jeans, than heals and lace. Oh yeah, I see the sign and totally got 'the look'. Still, it was nice to catch her with the morning light streaming in upon her face as she waited her turn to get "done up" last weekend for her brother's wedding. Oh yeah, I DEF can see her signs and know they're speaking to me, to me. You done good Thing #3. And tho she might not realize it at the moment, these are days she will remember. If for no other reason, than the blisters.

Fantastic b/w and yea, I didn't even consider what a whirlwind of 'oh crap' 2 weddings has on a teenager - I probably would have staged a mini-revolt in my day if my siblings did that to me. Looking forward to some Cyndi next week.
ReplyDeleteShe sounds like one amazing 16 year old! Love next weeks song! Thanks for hosting and the fun challenge.
ReplyDeleteHaha! Yes the blisters!! What a year you've all had!
ReplyDeleteThat's a gorgeous image of her. I love it. Hope you are both in recovery mode after all the lace and heels.
ReplyDeleteLovely backlit portrait! Very nice light and exquisite tones in B & W, very good !
ReplyDeleteAs Ringo would say, "Peace and love".
ReplyDeleteWeddings are fun but also a lot of Work, I bet she's glad it's all over now. She's a lovely young woman. At least you have a (wedding reprieve) for a few years now since she's only 16.
ReplyDeleteVery creative bw portrait shot for OWT!
