It’s hard to hold on
So hard to hold on to my dreams
It isn’t always what it seems
When you’re face to face with me
~ From “Close My Eyes Forever” by Ozzy Osbourne & Lita Ford
I had done another photo for the Hair Fair Photo Contest, but even with four different versions, I wasn’t satisfied. I still wanted another entry, so I thought I would try a couple’s shot. I enlisted my (m)alt, Chance, because I could traipse with him from store to store trying out new poses (although I ended up using one I already had lol), stick him on his pose ball and literally drag him around the bay without one whimper of complaint. He’s definitely the strong, silent type.
I am using my LUMIPro HUD, as I usually do, but this is the latest beta version. Stefan has added some new capability to the HUD that makes using it with couples much easier. Previously, you had to use drop-downs individually for all of the controls (intensity, fall off, radius, etc), which made it rather unwieldy. The new version has a pop-out slider section that allows you to manipulate these in one small control panel. Where I used to simply use the Intensity drop down for one model I can now control all aspects of the lighting elements at once. Then I just toggle to the other model to make further adjustments. It is effortless to use and gives you so much more versatility in an already wonderful product.
If you already have a LUMIPro HUD, just stop by the LUMIPro World Headquarters to pick up the beta version. If you don’t yet own it, you can trial the HUD there. Updates are free for life, so there is never a need to purchase a new version when it is released. You can get a quick peek at the update and how to get the beta version on this video.
Now, for the song. I’m going back to my Rock Chick roots for this one. Classic tune by two classic rockers.
If I close my eyes forever
Will it all remain unchanged?
If I close my eyes forever
Will it all remain the same?
Close your eyes

Pose: {.:exposeur:.} Summer Nights by RubyStarlight Writer
Summertime. The expected image is of sunshine, blue skies and shimmering heat. But it is the night that brings the mystery. It is the dazzling northern lights, the quiet interrupted by the chirp of the crickets and screech of the owl. The breeze rustling through the branches that changes from soothing to unsettling. A lover’s whisper sending a refreshing chill along your spine.
Those are the things that make a summer of dreams.
