I recently posted a few images on a social networking site that were fashion-types in nature. One one of the images, I was told, was "awkward," and the model's hands were in an inappropriate position.I stood by the image and defended the reasoning for its existence, citing examples of other, similar images that were in print and had made the model, photographer and company lots of money.That made no difference to those who cited the inappropriateness of the image in question.Here are the images I posted...All photos ©Carlos Paradinha PhotographyThe image that was cast as "awkward" is the fourth...

It's been a while since I created a post on here - and for that, I apologize.This quarter at school has been a lot better, academically, than last quarter. By miles.

Have you ever gotten something from somewhere, or made something with your hands and really liked the way it came out, put it away (or moved a few times, misplacing it in some haphazard box), and then forgot about it for a while? Have you then found that 'thing' and looked at it with "new eyes" (a new perspective) and made changes to it with the upgrades and updates to your thoughts and feelings?I have.I've taken some images that I thought were pretty outstanding - but I dislike what I do for the most part.
