Think of it as a form of cosplay and go for it. Then create a brand new account, not linked in anyway, to or from this account, and post them there. That way, you don't have to worry about folks you know and who check out your gallery seeing them.

Post the pictures and see what kind of response you get. If you decide you're just not comfortable with the whole thing, then delete your gallery and ignore the account. Great Art is never accomplished without taking great risk. Either you reach a point where you just go for it, or you sit back and regret not doing it the rest of your life!

Take the time to read all of *lockstock's journal. She has some very good thoughts and reflections on the subject.

This one does have an eerie feel to it. I think it's due to the way the shadows fall on your face.

Always a fan of the hair creating shadow over one side of the face. Very well put together on this shot.

The overall feel I get from the subject, you of course, isn't one of helpless suprise, but rather that you are almost angered at the interuption.
A kitten & her yarn?

You are quite welcome!

Trust me! At my age I've known the regret of lost opportunities and dreams never followed. That's why I do my best to encourage you younger artists to go for it, push the envelope of your skills, and pursue your dreams.

If I'd had someone to encourage me when I was your age, I'd have pursued an entirely different career path. So I feel it's my duty to encourage you guys in your artwork and photography... to give you what I didn't have.

So get out there and shine!
