I love this quote.

"This is the true joy in life - being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one; being thoroughly worn out before you are thrown on the scrap heap; being a force of nature instead of a feverish selfish little clod of ailments and grievances complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy."

~George Bernard Shaw

Valentine Photos

Valentine Photos

Here’s the latest in the world of Tolga photography:  Valentine Photos taken in our living room.  I begged him to be in the photos but they set I created wasn’t manly enough for him or something.

This is our living room transformed by Tolga’s photography equipment and my creativity.

We do the transformation thing all the time, but usually it’s for models or artists.

A close up.

A closer up.

I was usually facing left because that’s where the beauty light was.

This is Tolga’s way of distracting me when I’m worried about things.
