Location
I had just come in from a chilly November walk. Relatives were cooking thanksgiving dinner in the bright kitchen and I decided to leave my hat on for a few minutes. My dad said I should take a selfie because I make a great hat model so did right there in the kitchen.Time

Soft lighting works best on women's faces.Equipment
A Samsung phone camera.Inspiration
I see pictures as a medium to express artistic vision. I know that a vision is unique in every moment because it is a moment caught in time and can never be repeated. I wanted to remember this moment with family nearby while everyone was happy. Enya was playing and since it was nearly thanksgiving I was thinking how we should be aware of challenges in spite of annoyances because they can become the biggest blessing. These words "Into the wind I throw the night silver and gold turn into light" were playing nearby on a phone while I was playing with light on my camera.Editing

Two phones and a Minolta camera in an off the shoulder backpack/purse.Feedback
They need to understand lighting and what angles and shadows to work with. It is good to know where the lighting is coming from. Bright and soft lighting bring out faces the best
