Hi, I'm Marilyn. Â I've been posting here on RR for a few years now and thought it was time to update my profile. Â It's been wonderful learning so much from the amazingly talented people here. Â I've had the chance to meet many in person and some have become great and good friends. Â Starting with a Kodak Brownie camera when I was about 7 or 8, moving up to Instamatics, Polaroids, then the Pentax K1000 that really got me on the way, I've been looking at the world thru a lens for a long time. Â Got the bug honestly; my dad was a photographer and gave me the gene!! Â Digital changed the world and I jumped in with both feet. Â You would've gone thru 100's of rolls of film in one day the way we can shoot and delete all day long. Â Progess...it can be awesome sometimes.
At any rate, RR rocks, the talent is over the top and I'm just gonna keep on shooting!!
Thanks for looking and keep those cameras rollin'!!
peace.....marilyn

nice capture and a tale that I can relate to. I do a lot more window shopping than I do buying shopping, nice Image I hope you had a great time on your trip :)

I like all the levels of reflection in this shot; expensive glass, eh?

Looks like one of those GIANT bottles! What, not even a map? that's my usual souvenir.

Ooeee - wonderful shot and reflections, althought sadly, I cannot wear No.5 - smells like cat pee on me! I use Coco Chanel amongst others!!!

Certainly is the biggest name in perfume. Lighting and reflections make this quite special. I didn't buy anything either except for a touristy photo of my two fellow travellers and me after visiting the top of the Willis (Sears) Tower.

not entirely true, re buying nothing: You bought a camera strap! (I wish I'd saved the old one as a souvenir...) Anyway, this was at Water Tower Place, and I remember you two standing at the windows shooting away—one of those moments we non-photographers just honor, because it's what you do & you have to follow the 'call'...The shot has a mirage-like quality, and that light atop is 'Marilyn' light, intense & almost of another world & making the whole feel like a dream. And it's rich in reflections too, PS layers in the real world. Lovely work Marilyn. (And am I right to think that if that bottle were on sale, it would cost, like, 80 billion dollars?)
