Merry Christmas to all of you. Drink, eat and make love …

From a distance she looked like she wasn’t aware of me. I couldn’t get my eyes off of her. Couldn’t lower my camera either. I felt I had to capture this scene. There is something quite captivating about a woman, when she is preening herself in front of a mirror, alone. Only aware of herself. I felt voyeuristic and invasive of her privacy, until she saw me photographing her. It didn’t stop me. I kept on shooting, not wanting to miss documenting the moment. After noticing me, she too went on with her business of preparing for our shooting session. I am not quite sure if now that she was aware of me, self-consciousness had set in. I don’t think it is evident in this triptych.

I am passionate about food. I love to make it and I love to taste it. Today I decided to spend the day in the kitchen. Of course it was sooo hot that I couldn’t keep my clothes on for very long anyway.I prepared Thai coconut soup as an appetizer. Then I made a steak with sauce, mashed potatoes and vegetables. That was simply delicious.

This weekend I completed FIREARM SAFETY COURSE. Now I can safly handle the collection of my guns … just kidding

The whole course was such a surreal experience. I was the only woman there … I came in late of course with my fake pink nails and pink hat … the whole class including instructor were starring at me. I felt they thought I made a mistake and were going for the knitting course or at least strip aerobic classes. But now I was exactly where I wanted to be. I thought it was great to learn how to load and unload firearms .. they did not let us call them guns or weapons since they say it is unprofessional.

I passed my test with 98% score … yay I am great at multiple choice … with he practice exam the instructor was nice enough to help me out … after all I still need some training and practice but I will go to the shooting range next week so BE AWARE

I ‘ve been waiting for those pictures for awhile and couldn’t be happier to get them !!!

FINALLY . I think they turned out fantastic …
