I Have a Secret
Uploaded: June 23, 2005
This portrait of my daughter looks to me like she has a secret, like she is glancing back at you, wondering if she should tell you what she knows.
This is another portrait taken on June 13. My camera was set on the portrait mode. The lighting was a combination of natural light from a window and one continuous light bounced off a white umbrella. The photo was edited with Pain Shop Pro 6. (I converted the photo to black and white, despeckled, used unsharp mask, brightened, increased contrast, and cropped.)

BetterPhoto Websites: If you see an orange website link directly under the photographer's name, it's totally okay. It's not spam. The reason: BetterPhoto is the one that offers these personal photography websites. We are supporting our clients with those links.
Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.
The following truth is one of the core philosophies of BetterPhoto:
I hear, I forget.
I see, I remember.
I do, I understand.
