Shoot Two - "Rachel"

So, how did you do? It was Massachusetts! Tip of the lens cap to Carol, Michelle, Mommy Beth, Joan-i, Michael P., and first time responder, Jim W! 

First public elementary school: The Mather Elementary School was in Boston (Dorchester) - a side note - I student taught there - well after it first opened its doors!
Oldest co-ed: Hingham (Derby Academy)  
First college in America: Harvard 

Bonus: Weathervane atop of Derby Academy!

My second opportunity to click away came the following week as I joined two other HDP members for a model shoot in Lynn. The Greater Lynn Camera Club hosts a portraiture event during the winter doldrums. There were supposed to be four to six models to be photographed but for some reason only one showed up when we got there. A few hours later there were a couple others there on the scene. 

This is Rachel. . .

I liked her eyes and I thought the hat helped to frame them well. Even as a monochromatic, she is a beautiful girl!

Thought for the week. . .

Found these most interesting outlooks on life, in general.

Do not go where the path may lead,
go instead where there is no path and leave a trail!

Here are some interesting facts about one of our fifty states. Do you know which one? This state boasts of being the:

home to the first hamburger (1895), Polaroid camera (1934), helicopter (1939), and color television (1948).

                 

as well as PEZ® Candy is made in this state!

Leaving you with a smile, I hope. . .

They fought tooth and nail.
