I think that the party mode meant that cameras were part of the deal, so everyone stayed relaxed, and the camera remained invisible! <BR/><BR/>Yes, the colour change is real, not flash enhanced. There's a characteristic which I think is peculiar to Australian women as they age: The skin on the neck and hands develops an entirely different texture and colour to that on their face, because it has been protected by decades of make up.<BR/><BR/>Note to file: Powder your hands as well as your nose!bitingmidgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12593806233011328620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1025185028400769912.post-66579753639305603522009-03-15T08:12:00.000+11:002009-03-15T08:12:00.000+11:00Most definitely: age does weary.

I am presuming the change in skin-tone is make-up rather than the flash.<BR/><BR/>Old age is full of contradictions: imagine going on a journey over which you have no control. My father always talks about how he would like God to take him: then complains about drafts as he might catch chill. Once, oldies stop taking care of personal deportment you know depression has set in.<BR/><BR/>Wonderful portrait - Bravo!Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09513648613788716017noreply@blogger.com
