Wanda11_19_04.jpg

Sometimes the magic works and sometimes it doesn't. Tonights shot was a good concept but the execution was less than perfect. Dinner was on the stove so we had about 20 minutes to shoot. Wanda is a really good sport the temperature in the barn was about 25 degrees Fahrenheit. It was cold enough the batteries in the flashes were struggling to recycle the flashes. We will have to go back and try this again when we have more time and it is warmer. We will do this one again and get it right. WE picked this just because Orrin G was in the shot.

when I look back at this image I have to say I really AM a good sport! I about froze to death the night we took this picture and I am glad we didn't have more time to "get it right" or I would have been dead before Bill gave up! I have to say though, I thought the hay made a great background and Orrin G is the perfect prop!

I like the fact Orrin G got the part as the "rustic barn kitty"..lol

Bigwad, that would be a Montana Pinch Sombrero with a pencil curl and a Coors roll to the brim with a 6" crown ;^)

There in a barn full of hay the Cowgirl appears...
