Making Eyes
The stranger across the room… the smile…. In the physical terrain, it can take mere seconds to spark interest and desire . In the virtual terrain, we are much less versed and have few precedents. Awkward as it is, welcome to modern courting: dating sites, virtual personas, and streamlined window shopping. During the endless hours of "quick matching" and star ratings, I couldn't help but see patterns in photographic techniques of the horny hopefuls. How to convey a multifaceted character in which women everywhere will swoon…how to drop panties with a close-up shot…how to get her to look a little longer, want a little more. Share, I must, for personal delight, sweet remembrance, and hard lessons.

#1 - Thanks for evoking a strange man hovering above me through your camera angle - I'm feeling violated already.
