Yesterday I got outside to take a few pictures with my tripod. All the snow has melted and now it is just very muddy, but I have these old fallen trees that we dragged over from the river and have wanted to do a little shoot by them for a while.
After reading all of your comments regarding my "robot pose" or more elegantly put "Human Mannequin" (I like that one So much actually!) I have decided that my indoor pictures work exactly how I would like them to. I find that if I look at the camera, inadvertently I am engaging the viewer by looking at them, which is not my intention. As many of you stated, when I look away and pose just so, my pictures are all about the clothes and not about me. I would, however like to get an outdoor shoot at least one time a week since I think I will break up the monotony a bit. The unfortunate part of outdoor shoots is that you really can't see the details of this outfit very well. Give and take I guess.
I hope everyone had a very fun and safe evening last night!! Happy 2010! I am so happy to be here!

As usual, your outfit is really unique and looks lovely on you. The outdoor photographs give the outfit a whole new life for us to see too! Very pretty.
These photos are stunning! Hope you had a great New Year's Eve. - JoAnn, Sidewalk Chalk
you're so talented with a camera!
and I'm excited to watch you mix it up and explore outsie!
Happy New Year!
I really struggle with the photography side of my blog. I find your photos really inspirational - I love them! And you never look mechanical or robotic. Your pose is very natural, even if you're not looking at the camera.
I love these outdoor shots. You should definitely do more!
These photos are gorgeous, and so is your outfit! I love the outdoor photos just as much as your indoor ones. Keep it up
I love those tights and boots!
I'm glad to see outdoor photos :] Your indoor photos are always so good, but I love a little change of pace.

Wow! these pictures are so elegantly stark (does that make sense because it does in my mind...)
I really don't mind yout indoor photos and poses. They totally work and they are 'your thing'. Don't stop doing your thang...that's right, I wrote 'your thang'...
These are Gorgeous! Love it! I am looking forward for some more outside picture! (even thought I also love your other set up)

Wow, where do you live? It is absolutely beautiful. The colors of your outfit are wonderful and I especially love the contrast of the prints of the scarf and leggings (tights?).. lovely!
maybe a scheduled weekly outdoor post would have us excited with anticipation! ha ha.

These photos are just breathtaking! Love your hat!
I love your idea that you like the "robot pose" because of the eye contact with your viewer; it's interesting to think about! Annie.
This is such a beautiful location and your outfit is fantastic as well. I love the poses you normally have, but outdoor shots certainly make for some fantastic backgrounds. I think you should just do whatever you like best.
how did I miss this!? Ahhh!! I love this combination of tan and black or is it charcoal? Anyways, I think that anything tan is so sophisticated. Whenever I wear my boots(you know the ones) or carry a tan purse, I feel so much like a grown up lady (which, I am). Love the outdoor pictures too. Great lighting!
K, well I guess I can just say that I've missed you! Now time to catch up on all of your lovely posts.
I love these pictures! Your compositions are so interesting and the lighting is lovely.
the scenery and the colors reminds me of Hermes ads from a few years ago! pretty outfit too
