It must have been at least two years when we last crossed paths. Every time we do, we both learn something cool from each other. This time around, she got to hear about some wonderful social media platform where she can post stuff she's already posting elsewhere, but with the possibility of being rewarded for it.
Most of the photos are not yet out, having being taken with a film camera and currently under development, but I did take some digital shots to show and share. It's always nice to be able to provide some level of instant gratification these days as people are not used to waiting ages for photos anymore.
I learnt something cool about my friend. I knew she could play the sax, and a number of other wind instruments, but I didn't realise that she also plays virtually everything else. Piano, accordion, e.t.c. What a talent. She's the kind that always underplays her strengths around people. People are always mind-blown when they find out the other things she can do.
While this is admirable, sometimes it probably doesn't work in her favour. How many opportunities probably passed her by because people didn't know she could do the thing they needed done.
As usual, the entire time was filled with laughter and pseudo-gossip. Well, we call it "updates" about old friends haha.
I think friends make the best models, because they are already relaxed around you. There is also an element of trust that is required to get good portraits of people. Some models can be great actors but I think you can only get that genuine expression from someone you know.
Peace and Love ✌🏿
