BEAUTY AT ANY AGE

After taking some pictures of her daughters and one of their friends this weekend, I asked Marietta to let me take her picture (I loved the pants-skirt she was wearing). She responded with girlish excitement. I would probably feel the same if someone asked me to pose for the camera, although I never think I look good in pictures. Here are a few samples of our photo shoot. When we finished, she remarked that she was not a “fresh beauty” any more. I was thinking about it, and answered, “You may not be young anymore, but beauty can be found at any age.” We may be older and wiser, but we’re still beautiful!

I think it would be fun to model…learning how to pose for the camera and getting to show off the clothes you love. Being on the side of the camera is also exciting~ arranging the shots with the eye of an artist. I’m sure many people are interested to try doing either one. This past weekend they had the chance to get made-up and strut their stuff at Media City in Liege. I got a chance to take some pictures!

Even the mannequins look like they're modeling.

STROLLERS FOR DOGS ~ Another kind of Street Fashion in Liege

IMG_0008

I met a lady yesterday in the centre of Liege. Since I had just missed the bus, I decided to ask her if I could take a picture of her dog, who was so obviously loved and cared for. He was looking demure in a fancy-looking stroller, which upon closer examination, was made especially for animals.

While we were talking, she moved him a couple of times, because the sun was in his eyes. She asked me quite a few questions, but my French was limited, and I was also not sure if I wanted to get into all of it with her (Do you have a cat? Why did you give him away? Do you know the people you gave him to? Is he happy? …) Whew! She was hitting the nail on its little painful head, for sure! 

The bus arrived, and I had to go. But here are the pics for me to show!
