I won a blue ribbon at the county fair for this photo. Perhaps it was the sheer size that impressed the judges; I had it blown up to 3x5 feet. Anyway, it's a picture of me, by me.
It's quite deceiving, and looks like I'm wearing a robe and a cape, or saluting while holding a flag. It was taken on the sea shore, in my coat, with lots of wind, at the right hour of day, facing North East, with very fast film.

Lovely pictures of everyone!!
That's an amazing photgraph, Jean-Baptiste....I love it! I can see why it won that contest.
Lain, that's so cool that you're a model! You're gorgeous! Here in Dubai there are LOADS of modelling jobs, and they take shorter people as well (whereas in the states you generally have to be 5'10'' right?), so we've been looking into that.
Beautiful photograph - I wish I were that good a photographer.

Hey thanks a lot, Piper! (I can't thank everyone enough..) As a model, you're just as good as your latest project so I'm trying to make the most out of it. It's hard work too (watched America's Next Top Model?). It's not all pouting and walking on the ramp: YOU'VE GOT TO SELL THE BRAND. And if you don't, out you go. Models have to remember that they are the image of the brand they're endorsing and acting on, so even if you're as famous and well-renowned as Kate Moss who did drugs while still on contract with Burberry and Christian Dior, the people behind the product, and the people in general will hate you as well. It's hard.
In America, they take models as short as 5'8" as long as they can carry the dress well (during fashion shows, that is), but it goes without saying that height is still an advantage. In Europe they're more strict in choosing their models. I'm just 5'7" but if I wear 4-inch heels, then that makes me 5'11", which is quite acceptable internationally. Hope I make it there soon, though. *sheepish*

And hey, Jean-Baptiste, very imaginative photograph! Creative. Wham! Could you post a photo showing your face, though?

Oh! I didn't notice you were in pigtails!!! Oh well, you're still cool.

What face?
Oh, face! I have a photo of my face in my profile. It was taken several years ago, and I'm told that I look much younger now (I don't know how that works, I reached the age of 24 and started going backwards) so I guess it's me at my oldest.
Thank you very much, piper.
Thank you, Robin, but I'm really not a photographer--at all. It was sort of an accident, or a coincidence.
