shooting the photographer Photo Gallery by Cristine Varney at pbase.com

shooting the photographer

A gallery of self-portraits, of which some have been
toyed with in photo shop %;). I heartily embrace this new
way for an alleged grown up girl to still play dress up
and assume various "identities".

At heart, sadly, I am a person of little mystery, friendly
as a puppy (and sometimes, perhaps, just as annoying..grin..
with my exuberance. I do not, however, chew up slippers :)))

You have done such a great job with these self shots. Give your self a self hi 5.

Guest 16-Dec-2005 18:52
wonderful woman....a little too sentimental, but very-very attractive and not te be compared with the young-ones of this time, so dazzling and gorgeous wonam....i love her !!!!!!!!

Guest 18-Nov-2005 22:42
I have visited this forum a few different times and have come to realize that you really have fun with your photography. Your vision is wonderful and it shows in the images that you have posted. Your images are very expressive, especially the self-portraits. With your contagious smile, you will be young forever. Bravo!

Cristine Varney 31-Oct-2005 04:15
Monte, I think that is one of the nicest things anyone has said to me :)
I thank you very much.. I have seen many people that just drew people to
them, that wern't necessarily handsome or beautiful.. It is the inner spark
of joy and enthusiasm that I find so irresistible. I learned this long ago
from a dear lady that worked for me. She was probably the age I am now, and
I was a 20 something.. I never noticed an age difference, because Marian was
the most giving, sharing and humor filled lady..

Monte Stevens 31-Oct-2005 00:29
Enjoyed your gallery. You done a good job with the images. You seem to have an inner joy that comes out in your smile. Thanks for sharing that!

Manfred Bachmann 29-Oct-2005 23:47
Wonderful gallerie my friend!!

Guest 28-Oct-2005 11:53
What can i say? I have added you to my fav list.
Very nice gallery you have. With just canon G2, you can achieve so much already.
Adding a D70, i am speechless.

Phil..sshhh..that will be our little secret :)).. I give my business cards out with
this site address.. not to mention the cards I gave to the Drill Instructors .. How inappropriate for grandma %;) x0x

Phil 23-Oct-2005 23:34
a truly lovely gallery from a beautiful lady....one pic is missing though! :)

Cristine Varney 28-May-2005 16:59
I am delighted to hear that I brought smiles...That is one of my favorite
things to do...Thank you so much for your visits and your warm comments #:D

Guest 28-May-2005 06:50
Very nice SP gallery, Christine. Lots of variety here and some of them make me smiling! Thank you, Isolde

PauloCGama 27-Apr-2005 16:41

hi there i was looking the photos ,and we met in photopoints too , i just before comment a photo of you.great work Cristine.

Cristine Varney 26-Sep-2004 02:31
na na na na...I got to be the first one to sign your guest book :). To be honest (why do I say that so often? It sounds like the other times I am not being, which is not the case.. diagram that sentence :). Oh, being honest....I don't know the difference between the guest book and comments...except perhaps in scope...I am sure there are explanations to read...but that is no fun ;). We are all about fun, yes? Yes. :))

Guest 26-Sep-2004 00:35
Hey sistah.. I just love this gallery... so full of bubblishiness.. made that one up for you...full of spirit and pizazz. Fun to see you. I just added a few pics.. all the same as in PP. Not really sure how it works here, but wanted to stop by and say smoochers to a super duper funzie ladie...

Cristine Varney 13-Sep-2004 03:46
Yikes...how kind of you...but really this is just odds and ends of my odds and ends ;). I do appreciate seeing your smiling face once again. I am long overdue to peruse and also write on your galleries here and at the Pointe. I hope you know that is not by design or intent...more due to my recently acquired attention deficit disorder (I should not joke about that aliment...I don't believe I have it...but I do get scattered and head in all directions at once...or at least try to. :) If I could do that, what a picture that would make:). Hugs&Smiles, dear man....see you soon :)

PauloCGama 13-Sep-2004 03:14
