An exercise in self-analysis led me to the idea for this shoot. I wanted to create a series of images to reflect an inner narrative. The vision, however, was far simpler to conceive than to create. My little model patiently waited through hours of this unpractised make-up artist's attempts to create the image in mind. Failure after failure brought me close to letting it all go. The more I messed it up, the more the vision floated just beyond my grasp. I grew sad and discouraged. I felt that for all the good intentions in the world, I just could not get to my goal. I felt stupid for thinking I could bring this idea to life. I wanted to give up. But my muse, my gorgeous wonderful reflection, encouraged me to "Try again! You've got this!" She endured application and removal after application and removal of some pretty grisly stage make-up - all without complaining an iota. Her strength and enthusiasm for my idea pushed me on. And I am so grateful for her. She is amazing.
Keep your face towards the light always, my precious, wonderful, magical girl!
