Give attendance to reading..I Timothy 4:13

It was another cold, windy day and decided to practice another existing light shot upstairs where I usually go if I do my self portraits in the house. There is more room up there and a private, peaceful place to read. The book I am reading is "The Private World Of Tasha Tudor. By Tasha Tudor and
Richard Brown. My neighbor gave it to me for my birthday in Sept. and I have been enjoying the beautiful photography in this book...My neighbor told me Tasha Tudor reminded her of me.. I considered that a compliment because Tasha was a very talented lady who illustrated nearly 100 books. She loved nature and the privacy of the simple life and in that respect, I can relate to her philosophy of life.

In the Self Portraits photo essay.

This is such a beautiful shot Andrea, the natural lighting is excellent and I can see how you could be similar to Tasha Tudor : ) I wonder if she is from the Tudor line as in Henry VIII?

Thank you everyone..., I found a good link about Tasha Tudor's life..She died in 2008 at 92 years old. She was a remarkable lady. I don't know if she is from the Tudor line as in Henry VIII, Ann. I haven't been able to find any information on google about that aspect of her life. She eventually adopted her mother's maiden name as a surname and Tasha's original name was Starling Burgess ...Her father William Starling Burgess nicknamed her Natasha, as a child. (www.answers.com)
