  That's an interesting picture. I covered up each side to see what she looks like both ways. I may have learned a little about myself here. This is a good one.

  Good concept and great photo, i've been trying for a while to think of a way to express what I feel about retouching and the beauty industry. You just found a really great way to express it.

  James, this is awesome. A simple everyday portrait, and it says so much about the way the media expects the general public to view ourselves. I actually interviewed for a position as a photographer for a talent/scouting studio who felt I was not qualified based upon the fact that I had not worn enough makeup and would not present a positive image to their potential clients.
