Just a photograph of a girl who swears she's not photogenic

Down by the river

"You can never step into the same river; for new waters are always flowing on to you." - Heraclitus of Ephesus

Just a photograph of a girl who swears she's not photogenic. I don't think the word photogenic should have been allowed to get out into the lexicon; then folks could not not be photogenic. Almost every person short of kids makes the "not photogenic" claim because someone at some point in their lives took a bad picture of them at some family or social event.

Bah I say!

I do not know how, but somehow I got poison ivy on my hands and fingers.

Perhaps photogenic quality depends on the skill of the photographer rather than the look of the subject. I've seen photographs of typically "beautiful" celebrities that make them look awful. This one's lovely, though — subject and photo both. Nice job.

I love it.

I live in Georgetown.

I want to be a photographer too.

I normally don't speak in such choppy sentences.
