Hi there Ayda, nice to see you again! This is very nice and moody self-portrait, thanks for sharing your expressions here with us.
All that white and glow makes this photo so calming, I hope you've chosen that "old" photo because you feel like that now.

See you around, take care!

I read your note...I wish a you and Bodmin a lot of strenght in this difficult times of changing. I hope you feel better when you are in Italy and that it works as a medicine for you.
Oh yeah almost forgotten...very beautiful portrait Ayda, I like the way you played with light and softness (not the good word but I hope you understand what I mean).

Take care Ayda and greetings to yuor biggest friend Bodmin.

I realy love the softness you have caught, here, reminds me also of the dear sweet softness that we know as Chairaluna. Dear Ayda, I am sure the move will go better than you think. God's dearest angels will be watching over you and Bodmin...

So do I get this right you are moving permanently to Italia? Or is this just holiday? Wow you will be in Europe... not so far away... ;)

Well thinking of you and do try not to worry, positive energy will get you through and unlike bodily energy it is in endless reserve... :)

Love and hugs. I will try to post something today, even though I too should be doing other things... has been so long for me now too...

Yours with many hugs
Francis

Lovely portrait, Ayda. Your PP work is excellent with the softness and sepia tones.

As for advice, definitely mail your bags and maybe your computer case. One 15 lb. cat is enough to carry. Mailing really isn't that expensive, you would be surprised, and it would be so much easier on you!

Have a wonderful trip.

Hi Ayda, your photographs are so lovely - I can't believe I have missed them before. But then, I go at a slow pace and when I find great photos, I really enjoy going through them. I hope you get everything you have on the go in order, as I am looking forward to seeing more of your great work. Sam

Ciao Ayda,
Che ritratto interessante. Sai, io non è da molto che metto le mie foto su TL e con l'inglese faccio una fatica incredibile. Ho visto sulla Home qualcosa a riguardo dei poster a cui tu hai partecipato. In cosa consistono?
Come si sta negli States? Tutto Ok?
salutami il nuovo continente
Saluti e complimenti per i tuoi "shots", Ivo
