 I got really rusty, so it took me some time to find how to add comments here post challenge. :-)
Thank you to my terrific models; hopefully they had fun, too, trying to recreate this old photo:

They are my daughter's friends who met in elementary school and have stayed close throughout all this years. Last year, though, these two left for NYU and Temple, hence the NYC and Philly images.
Luckily, they are back together during the summer, enjoying each other's company, and hopefully modeling more for me.
It took me quite a few hours to put this collage together, but it was a labor of love, and some welcome discoveries...
Even though I did not get into DPL, being late due to sad family circumstances, I am grateful to DPC as always for giving me the incentive to shoot. I do miss the extra motivation from playing for my team though (btw, I am in the free agent pool). Thank you, friends, for the kind votes and comments, they are very appreciated!
