cute but stupid

Posted by amy (Nanaimo, BC, Canada) on 28 September 2007 in People & Portraits and Portfolio.

Lewis and me. This is my place of relaxation; computer on lap and cat vying for said lap. Left myself a wee bit in shadow for the mystery of the real amy!!!! But you never know about tomorrow..... And now I'm off to meet everyone else!!! Thanks Dimitrios for such a fabulous idea!!!

Just tell me what you think. I'm a big girl.... I won't cry for long. ;-)

Anne from White Rock, Canada

Really nice with you and Lewis Amy! Its so good to see you! Really lovely lighting - you look so relaxed - not a bit like the frantic Amy you portray ;-)

28 Sep 2007 9:29am

@Anne: I am frantic, tho'.... frantically editing myself because I go so much with my emotions (Taurus that I am)... but I have that facade to try and hide the craziness that is me!! LOL Thanks so much Anne... I've just so loved "meeting" everyone today.

I love this fabulous portrait of you and Lewis.

28 Sep 2007 11:01am

@MaryB: Thanks Mary!! It was tricky to get a shot without the double chins showing!! LOL This was such a great idea of Dimitrios'. It's so lovely to put a face to a name isn't it?!

Jen from Alpharetta, United States

Now aren't we two peas in a pod!!! LOL
Both had cats in our photos...too weird Dahling!!

28 Sep 2007 11:50am

@Jen: It is too funny!!! Birds of a feather soul sista!!!! Maybe tomorrow you'll see more of my face... and maybe you'll have more of your face, too?!!!! This was such a great idea of Dimitrios'... it's an absolute hoot!!!

Great to meet you in your comfortable, homey digs, Amy. You and the kitty look quite content.

28 Sep 2007 1:48pm

@Viewfinder: The best time to be content Viewfinder... far from the Madding Crowd. This was such a great idea of Dimitrios'... just wonderful to "meet" so many of the Am3-ers.

Richard_Irwin from Belper, United Kingdom

That looks a comfy spot to edit and post images. You look well relaxed and so does your little friend Lewis, very cute.

Henri Rabagny from Paris, France

Nice to meet you too Amy. I like very much this photo.
Are you sure he is so stupid ? I think he is jealous not to be able to have some friends like canadian, japanese or greek cats !!

28 Sep 2007 4:53pm

@Henri Rabagny: Hey Henri!! Thanks so much... btw, the cute but stupid is in reference to me not Lewis (I could never hurt his feelings LOL)

Jen from Alpharetta, United States

Hey...my computer at work really had a bad shadow over your face...my laptop is much better and this portrait is truly wondeful and very sweet...and my gosh you look familiar...another life maybe???

28 Sep 2007 5:12pm

@Jen: You know, the way we've so clicked I wouldn't be surprised!!! Truly! I had wondered about why you couldn't see my face... I didn't think I had too much shadow on my face. But I am posting another for tomorrow... what the hell, Dimitrios suggested for both days. Hope you are too... I'd really love to see your whole face. I've only seen your baby blues and profile. ;-)

Damon Schreiber from Toronto, Canada

That's really a lovely portrait, Amy! Very warm.
