I normally edit all the photos of myself, but he's a bit more skilled on that front when it comes to snaps of people - not these beautiful images, or the model (Rachael) in them, needed much work - but still. <br /><br />I too wish we lived closer - or even on the same continent. I truly, massively do want to take a trip to England one day, so perhaps if that ever manages to happen, we can meet up on your home turf, as they say. :)<br /><br />Oodles of hugs,<br />♥ Jessica Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-17020479576429684562014-08-28T04:20:08.442-07:002014-08-28T04:20:08.442-07:00You both look lovely!

I really, really don't want to see/feel the heat vanish this year, no matter how much I adore autumn. It will, of course though, no matter what, so certainly having beautiful photos from Tony like these to remember it by help cushion the blow of its departure. <br /><br />Thank you very much for the splendidly nice compliments - I will pass them along to Tony right this very moment. <br /><br />Tons of hugs,<br />♥ Jessica Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-65546682548016306262014-08-27T16:37:24.985-07:002014-08-27T16:37:24.985-07:00Thank you very much, sweet gal!

His photo editing skills, especially when it comes to photos involving people, really do smoke mine (which is what you'll see usually in outfit snaps of me on my own) out of the water and I really appreciate that he took the time to weave his magic on these fantastic snaps of Rachael and I. <br /><br />It's wonderful that you don't feel so isolated now that you're in Chicago. I didn't have the internet when I was in high school (it existed, but my family didn't have it yet - yes, I'm that old :D) and wasn't even aware until I was about 16 that other folks out there (save for classic car enthusiasts) actually wore vintage in their daily lives. I don't remember exactly how I found out, come to think of it, but have a vague sense that the info came by way of the UK, which isn't surprising at all, given the large number of vintage fashion fans in that great nation. <br /><br />Thank you very much for your wonderful comment, dear gal!<br />♥ Jessica Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-21112265522872020392014-08-27T16:23:06.419-07:002014-08-27T16:23:06.419-07:00Very beautiful ladies indeed:).

Aww, many thanks - all the credit goes to Tony for these snaps entirely, as he both shot and edited them. <br /><br />I know precisely what you mean, as I'm in the same ship. It can get very lonely being the sole vintage loving gal (or gent, as the case may be) in your area. I really hope you're able to meet up with one of more kindred spirits soon, honey.

When you're part of a niche community, it's always great to run into people that have similar interests to you, especially if you don't encounter it often. That's one of the things that I really like about the internet - it helps with that sense of isolation that you can get when you're the oddball who's interested in something that the rest of your social circle doesn't understand. It's not something that I feel so much now that I'm in Chicago, but I know when I was in high school in California, the internet really felt like a lifeline.<br />And can I just say, your husband is an excellent photographer. That first shot of Rachael, with the lake and the hills behind her and the golden sunlight, is incredibly striking.Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06827840216337511678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-77570708117861975422014-08-27T09:00:46.873-07:002014-08-27T09:00:46.873-07:00Ooooh, how lovely that you've met a fellow blo...Ooooh, how lovely that you've met a fellow blogger on your home turf!

Actually I'm super jealous - I tried to organise a bit of a meet-up myself this summer but uni got completely in the way. I will try again some other time though because it's easy to feel a bit isolate (at least in terms of other vintage-lovers) when living in a place with little or no vintage wearing population.Helen Maehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08412020212960504803noreply@blogger.com
