2 is 1 - The Henna
Posted by {H} creatives (San Francisco Bay Area, United States) on 12 August 2007 in People & Portrait and Portfolio.
Hello, Inspiration Circle!
Sorry I've been out of circulation for some time, but I truly appreciate your recent visits, and everyone's comments. I'm continuing to improve my portfolio because of your critiques and feedback...Thank you so much!
The hiatus for a couple of weeks is due to crazy work schedule and I do miss the p-blogging and was going through withdrawals of sorts...LOL. Last week, though, I was privileged to take pictures of Yvonne and Zia and their wonderful wedding. This is the picture of the bride, Yvonne [a dear friend], preparing a "henna" the day before the wedding.
More pictures to follow of their wedding day! Congrats Yvonne and Zia! B-)
My work have been keeping me off of the "every-other-day" post. But I will certainly re-visit each one of your p-blog soon!
'Til then, Cheers! B-)

Hello. I came to your site via Tyan and kairopix, what a nice idea-
"Inspiration Circle", surely that is what this is..
This image caught me by surprise, the colors, and clarty, and fun face. Nice designs on her hands, did she transfer the design to something else!
Keep up the great work and encouragement. Thank You

Hey, welcome back dude! The shot is great with a great mood. Just a pitty she has a finger covering one of her eyes. If both eyes were visible, the shot would be even greater!

Hey H. Thanks for visiting my pblog even though you are busy. As you can see in my old pblog, spams are getting CRAZIER!
so now, I am at Aminus! :) You can click on my name to go there. See you around H!
Btw, this is a very nice picture. I like henna art, it's beautiful if you do it right. I've seen henna art gone wrong...everything looked smudgy. This certainly looks great to be in a wedding album!

Totally understand the hiatus although mine was for over a month and I bounce from being really active to gone all the time but you know how that goes! I love this shot, I especially like how you have one eye covered and one peaking through the fingers. I did a wedding last year where the bride and all of her bridesmaids had henna, makes for some cool shots, I actually posted one just a few weeks ago when I was diving into my archive.
