Description
Last April I met four ladies sitting on a bench in the town centre and asked to photograph them.
They were on the last day of a short 'girls' holiday and were willing victims, giving their permission to use the pics.
They all seemed full of fun and said they had had a fabulous time.
The editor of Vogue mentioned recently how gross it would be to use women over 30, yes, 30, in their magazine:and I know many people think women of our age who are well past our first freshness should be invisible.
I beg to differ.
So, TOUGH!

I think there is a lot of beauty and wisdom in this lovely portrait. I don't read Vogue anyway!!!
Lovely portrait, and somebody should remind that editor that she will be over forty in no time and Is she going to leave the magazine then.
very good portrait
adorable character and portrait
"Age is just a question of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter." ~ Mae West What a wonderful face. A fabulous portrait. I second the opinion. A random list of actresses over 60: Jane Seymour 1951 Raquel Welch 1940 Susan Sarandon 1946 Jacqueline Bisset 1944 Sophia Loren 1934 Helen Mirren 1945 Catherine Deneuve 1943 Meryl Streep 1949 So none of these women will ever be in Vogue? The editor sounds like a proper twit.
She's got spirit and spunk! I like her! I bet she was a blast to talk to
Well I DON'T read any magazines or papers, all a load of rubbish as far as I am concerned. Lovely capture!!!
WONDERFUL WORK
What do you call a person who is anti age? An ageist? I don't know, it's possibly a rhetorical question. The editor should be drummed out of the magazine corps. In any event, a sterling portrait revealing great tones and textures in this young lady's face, Andrea. She's probably shouting, "get that bloody Tizzy out of my face!"
She looks like fun! A lovely portrait!
ageist? LOL def. 'in vogue' now. great work!!
Looks a little like Doris Hare of on the buses fame. A delightful face that can tell a thousand stories.
I cannot even imagine what damage these young models are doing to their bodies in trying to stay so emaciated looking. Personally, I think they look freakish walking skeletons covered with a layer of skin. The editor of vogue is already past her prime (she was born nov. 1949) and wonder why she is still even allowed to represent a magazine dedicated to the skeletonish young. Now THIS is a beautiful face!
This is a real portrait of a real person, not some fantasy image post worked to death by some magazine until it fits their ideal's of what is in style today... people are people.. all ages all sizes, colours and creeds etc.... give me a portrait shot like this any day. This lady has wonderful character and you have captured this perfectly.
Wonderful portrait!
I agree with you Andrea. Amazing capture. God bless.
I like that she was looking at the camera and people in our age bracket have more character on their faces! The mono version in not an complementary as the color version - in my humble opinion!
