Wanda the Snow Fairy 11_07_08.jpg

Is it any wonder that Utah has the greatest snow on earth with a snow fairy like Wanda?

or

Well, if the model insists on wearing cliche wings then I'm likely to make her suffer by standing barefoot and half naked in the snow.

And for those that might wonder how the dog bite is coming along, here's a slightly un-edited version

This one is just STUNNING! WOW! I have to admit, some of the pics you post of your wife are a little odd but this one is a beautiful beautiful photo. True art. Just gorgeous! All the colors and non-colors (white) are so perfect!

Ummmm Wanda, I think that KYV was referring to the fact that your "headlights weren't on" in this picture, unless Bill edited THAT out of the picture along with your dogbite bruises :-) I guess I'm not as old as I think I am since I noticed that lack as well :-) I've always thought that you have the face and body of an angel, and now you've got the wings to go with them!

My first thought before reading all the droolers comments was "wow.. look at those eyes" .... girl... you could melt the snow with those beauties... ;)

KYVenture rider,

trust Me, I was COLD! I could only look "not cold" long enough for Bill to snap the shutter. Between shots I was shivering and whimpering in the cold. It took all I had to muster up a half way pleasant expression on My face for this shoot.

Nice Shot, Bill. Wanda--you don't look as "Cold" as I have seen in some of your other shots. Perhaps Bill has more to share from this series!

Wanda, you have never looked more beautiful, more youthful, more mesmerizing than you do right here! When I am reincarnated I want to come back as Bill. ; )

Doggone!!! Would that this Snow Fairy should be at the Bottom of my Garden? Alas, being Down Under, the Snow would have Melted, along with my Heart!!! And, yes, the Eyes have it!!! Again, wonderful Mystique, Inspiration, and Hope, from Each of You. Thanks....

What a vision of lovliness, I'm sure her warm heart will keep the cold at bay.

What an amazing, image. One of your best collaborations, and that's really saying a lot!
Joe Lasker07-Nov-2008 21:17
What a trooper! The blue toning of the image gives the feeling of cold, and also sets off Wanda's beautiful blue eyes. Well done. I don't expect snow here in NY for a month or more (I hope)
