Description
Tara (auntietk) leaning into the wind as we are tearing along in a friend's motorboat on the Tickfaw River in Louisiana.
Told her at the time, she reminded me of a stylish 1920s automobile hood ornament complete with windswept hair:)
P.S. Tara put a shot of me up with the same title from the same ride.

LOL! she should have been further out on the bow :) Then she would have fitted your description to the letter Bill. Nifty shot of our auntie using live view :)

There we go! There she is! :) So nice to our lovely Tara! Purple is a lovely colour on her indeed! It definitely does look swampy out there! Tara wasn't joking when she said it was a nice day on a boat cruise around the swamps! :) Beautifully captured, Bill!

LOL - and here's the other side! :-D I love the way it looks like Tara's going about 100 mph with the wind in her hair - and she's completely engrossed in getting the shot! Looks like you two had a stellar day! Great shot, Bill!

Tell the truth now, did you two re-enact Cate and Leonardo's famous scene from Titanic standing on the prow with your arms spread and hair waving in the wind? Enquiring minds want to know ;D Tara looks great here, relaxed and happy doing what she loves...I'm jealous!!!

The artist at work. Great capture. I like your comparison with the hood ornament Bill!

A fine shot of Tara. Your hood ornament comment gave me an idea - a tiny hood ornament camera similar to the Go-Pros that mount on helmets, controlled remotely from inside the car. So that when you are taking a scenic drive, you can easily record it with a hoods-eye view. The only hitch would be coming up with an effective anti-theft device...

I'll be back for more, but this is 4 for today and a great place to end. I didn't comment on tara's similar portrait, so I'll comment on this. Yes, she does resemble a hood ornament, lol, and it's a terrific shot. It really does sweep from her shoulders and torso into her gaze and into her camera then into the river. And her hair flows right along with it. (I assume she's looking in the lcd screen---'cause if she's looking in the viewfinder, she has unbelievably good eyes!) Lotta motion here, and concentration too. Do you guys smile when you shoot? The picture of you looks like you're smiling too. (I never smile when I'm shooting. I figure other photographers will think, 'ok, that guy's an idiot'!) The smile makes it very warm. Lovely shot of tara, and of a photographer period. I really like the motion and sweep, and the way you've balanced it all. I don't know if I mentioned this to either of you (and you'll be happy if I didn't), but I was gonna take a shot of me in my bathroom, bent over and shooting into the wall. I mean camera right up against the wall. Kind of a bad joke on this series. With my hair blown back. But I couldn't set it up, as I only have one camera, and the mirror-thing would take hours...Anyway, lovely work. Real joy. I'll be back for more soon.
