Some models are more eager to get images from shoots and give feedback.
Sinba here told me on photo prior to this one "nice, but I prefer black and white :-)"
So black and white it is :-)

I do prefer to work with models that get involved, that isn't just a pretty face and that just stands there waiting to be instructed... Clients might be like that though, but that is perfectly fine.

25-image stack. Shot in manual, which is a bit of a departure for me and something I know I should work on more.

Taken with my eye-phone six. As they say the best camera is the one you have with you.

uh, @kanuck, any reason there's a swastika on display?

In Buddhism the swastika symbol means 'all is well' in stark contrast to its Nazi association.

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swastika

The swastika (also known as the gammadion cross, cross cramponnée, or manji) is a symbol that generally takes the form of an equilateral cross, with its four legs bent at 90 degrees (as a Chinese character: 卐 or 卍).[1][2] It was throughout the world considered a very important symbol. It is today considered to be a very sacred and auspicious symbol in Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism.[3]

The Nazi's did horrible things, including co-opting an ancient symbol for their flag. We should own it and take it back for its rightful purpose.

@spraynpray & Ironheart: Thank you both for the information.

@Ironheart Well said!

Good post @Ironheart. A few weeks ago in doing a little research I came across this same information and was amazed at discovering the truth, yet disappointed that most still only associate it with Nazi atrocities.
On a lighter note, yesterday I was in a bookstore and this 20-something female near me didn't know who the comedian George Carlin was (showing age here)... so maybe over time the negative connotations will slowly fade.

I have returned home from my 5,000 km jaunt, and one of the images I captured was at a dirt track in Plymouth, Wisconsin.



The full sequence can be seen here:

along with a lot of others from the shoot.
