today, i finally learned how to use the remote for my camera.

yes, i have one camera. with one lens.

and this remote thing has been in my possession, for several months. i just didn't understand how to use it, and i'm not great with change. also, i thought it wasn't much different than setting the camera to auto, so i didn't see the point.

i was wrong.

great little device.

now, i can actually prove i have two breasts, without enlisting the help of another photographer *s

that is a difficult feat, when shooting handheld, i'll have you know.

so: mark this as a day of freedom.

and: the babe starts kindergarten on monday.

who knows what sorts of trouble i might find . . .

shouts out to joe mario, who contacted me tonight, looking for a new shoot—and giving me the honey i needed to finish my own shoot. i do adore you, mr. mario, mm hmm.

my first self-portrait (look, no hands!) from the remote is on flickr (but you can't see it, unless you have a free flickr account, set to moderate . . . cuz, yeah, there are breasts involved *s).

freedom!


happy days,

emmanuela

yes, my site is now fully bilingual, spanish and english. i know no one has a problem with that. mm hmm.

okay, so . . . now those amongst the claiming masculinity participants who wrote accompanying texts have their words with their galleries, again. i am regretful at having been so lax about that, when i moved my site.

the galleries, in general, should be more easily navigable, as they're all interlinked. if not, lemme know.

i've also added a page of links to some of my fave photographers and activism groups.

there are but a few thumbnails and the like which can be dragged and dropped from the screen; in the main, the photos are protected by various coding mechanisms.

hey, a word about protecting my photos: when you, as a model or project participant, have a copy of my work, we have that long talk about your duty to keep my copyright on the photos, riiiiiiight? right.

so, could i please please please not be sent links from various sources, showing me that my photos of various models are being used as false social networking profiles and the like? i mean: y'all look good, but do you really want someone pretending to be you? that's just creepy.

i'd recommend you put those photos on whatever settings stop the general public from accessing them. and please: use the copyright. thank you.

don't hate me cuz i'm dutiful,
