Hi all,

I survived the Bahamas with only minor injuries but before I get to that I'm processing Cyndi's and my World Tour visit to China. I'm nowhere near done but here are a couple of early samples.
Yes that is Cyndi and yes she's still Dominican but, in our 20th shoot, she still amazes me.

    This is a real location rather than composite, yes? I like 1/3 - the harsh light kinda kills #2 photographically, even though it's a great pose and expression from her thumb.gif

    Not a composite. It's a Buddhist monastery that only asked us to be respectful. I think we were.

    WOW! She actually looks oriental in these. Talk about being a chameleon.

    Thanks Diva. # 2 is one of my favorites despite the harsh light. There was just no way around it.headscratch.gif

    Bryce, there's a reason she's my ace model and creative partner in the world tour. She constantly amazes me. She researches a shoot for weeks. The fact that she nailed that demure Asian smile blows me away.

    Tahiti is next. Let's see what she does.

    It's Asian Bryce. She's not a rug. Laughing.gifrolleyes1.gif

    Is that a wig she's wearing Bil? And where did you get that dress?

    Yes it's a wig from China as is the dress. Everything we're using in the World Tour is from the host country. Wait till you see her serving from a tea set in a formal kimono, both from Japan.iloveyou.gif

    Nope. India is in Asia. She doesn't look at all like she would be from India in these. She looks like she is from the Orient.

    That's the problem about worrying about being PC. Takes away accurate descriptions. I have a friend of Egyptian decent. He is very, very light skinned. Would you call him an African American?

    Thanks Tin.

    One more to remind everyone that she can also pose.
