It's about photography, which is my hobby. I'm going to activities with groups that do photography. That includes in many cases photographing models (some of which are quite hot).
Shooting models became sort of entertainment..

I am moving to taking pictures of people too.
I got depressed after I lost all my pictures. I did not know that they mean a lot to me. Now I know.
When I take pictures of nature or animals, it is like to be alone and still have a good time.
Now I am ready to move forward. I am going to take pictures of 9 year old girl. She is a daughter of my girlfriend.
We have a strong connection with this little girl.
I want to show her how she looks because she even does not realize her own beauty.

If you want your pictures to be something special you learn to make the picture about something emotional rather than the girl's beauty. This way all people can make a really great picture whether they are old men, young girls, children or even babies. A recent picture I took was about a middle aged man and his daughter fishing at sun set. Just a average looking people but what is not average is the feeling of fatherly love the picture creates. You start off with what is special about this girls life? Can you photograph it in some un-posed natural way that will capture the emotion of this. Let say she plays doctor with her doll. You put an number of doctor like toys and crib around to create a set. You get her to play with her doll. Get the mother to encourage the play you quietly take the pictures like you are not even there. When it works then you will see her love and the feeling of care she can have for this doll and the finished picture will be something special. I hope this is of some help.

The camera I am holding is a canon 5d mark 3 and the lens is canon 70-200mm f2.8 mark 2

I have Nikon D5200. Love this camera, but do not know it well.
Never have enough time to learn about it.

WOW! What a post!!!
Thank you so much.
I do sport with this girl. We swim together, and I teach her to play tennis.
First pictures will be on tennis court. In my pictures she is going to be a little woman.
I treat her as an adult. She really appreciates it. There is a little woman in every little girl.
Through my pictures I am going to teach her to be responsible for being sexy and being a warrior.
These two qualities are typical for Russian women. It is not easy to keep them.
We are waiting for tennis dresses to arrive. This is something absolutely new for her.
When she sees herself from aside she will have a lot to think about. We will have a lot to talk about...
This experience will bring back best memories about my own life.

Sharon,

Andrew has made some very valid points. Stop making excuses and barriers. Though I might add if you're looking for dating targets perhaps try 10 years above the last 2.

27s? Fine with me  :thumbsup:

Mr Sharon Haber as not been here for a while. I miss his contribution to the forum. I went awol for a while, too. I also miss Dogsoldier, 2tallbill, Jone, and a few others I can't seem to remember. A Canadian welder was one of them. I went awol for a while, too.

I sent him a PM, to see if he might like to come back for a visit. I didn't know that
Dogsoldier wasn't around.

Well well. I'm waiting for the red carpet :-*

It is quite strange to write here from smartphone (which I use on facebook).
I didn't have one when I was on this site.
Can't get used to it.
Have to write here from the computer, like the good old days.

Thaks for your interest guys :)

I miss the wit and humor and the fact that members here don't get offended quite easley. And the emoticons.

Back then I thought my contribution here is limited because I don't have useful experience regarding the search of women abroad.

I've come to the insight that it's not about geography and culture but yourself.
Therefore the topics here were not of that relevancy to my case... Or are they?

Instead of searching outside search inside what prevent you from finding the right woman, or any woman?

Last year I formed friendship with a woman I contacted on facebook and went to meet with her.
We have many things in common, including the disability to have a partner.
She doesn't have boyfriends for years.
In fact every woman I form frienship with doesn't have boyfriend. And it's not temporary. They have disabilities in relationships.
It does tell something about me :-X

If they could have a boyfriend, it wouldn't be me and we wouldn't be friends.
Sort of frustrating :(

So the model stuff and that nonsens is not something real.
My relationships with women are platonic.
Maybe two women friends who are single moms to one daughter, that's all.

So earch for woman abroad is not my thing.
My women friends are Israeli locals of the same culture and mentality.

Will write here more about myself later.

Thanks to everyone who thought about me ^-^

When one is driving one needs to look at where one wants to be, not at the thing one wants to avoid. If we look at the ting we should avoid we will hit it. Is some kind of thing to do with perceptions.

Anyway, is your relationship difficult a little of the same thing?  Are you looking in thew rong plae and as a result finding more of that which youknow you want to avoid?

Try the other foreign dating forum.  They may be still posting there (in fact the last two user names have posted recently there).
DS is probably just having a break, Bill is posting here under another username and Jone they can keep!
If you get a minute check out Bruce's TR - Its not quite finished, however its still a pretty good read IMHO.

If I win the lottery I'll finish it this week if not I'll probably complete it when I retire!!! Until then I hope you enjoy the story so far!
