Timmers Loc: San Antonio Texas.

As a continuance of Day 65, we find Shadyn and Cristi getting along in their play. Things were there for Cristi as the time rolled on. It is funny, this working with two models who obviously have an attraction for one another. I often get some truly powerful images from a group of images in such a session.

With a Shadyn shoot she is the lead in these things. In these sessions I'm there for the image making. There comes a point when the models begin crossing a certain point of no return. The intimacy is palpable. Others will continue, I do not. It is at this point that it is time to fold up the photon tent and exit stage left.

Now, you may want to say, "Why?" I have found that at this point is vary much like photographing people who are eating, you get loads of images that are just pure-D-junk. The images, the people in the images, no one comes across as anything important. So I just drop the whole thing and out I go. As you look at the images in this set and the ones from Day 65 I think you would agree that the relationship between the two lovers is real, almost too intense with regards to Cristi, while Shadyn is busy having fun and is mostly playing to the camera. The last image in this set (Day 66) is Shadyn separating herself from the camera and is beginning to engage with Cristi.

These are my friends, Shadyn and Cristi. These are two wonderful loving women who are both now dead. The images represent who they were while they were alive. They live on as photographic memory. Like myself they enjoyed the Buddhist philosophy of life, one of the great ideas expressed is that humans have two deaths, the physical death and the other when the last person who remembers them dies. I make images and post them so that my friends will live beyond my death.

Two beautiful ladies! How sad they are no longer with us. Very nicely shot set of photographs that shows love and a bond between these two women. May they rest in peace.

Thanks, me I never excepted to live to my up coming 70's birthday. Weird actually, but I got my fathers healthy body type, and he lasted to 93. But yes, it is hard to outlive the loved ones of our lives. But then I am weird because I have outlived my feline buddies and there have been several. Shadyn is the real odd ball person from this life, a seer told me that I have been connected to her life line through the ages, that in the next go around she will be a son to me! I believed that as she was always a frat boy to me. All them women she took to bed. She even collected souvenirs of under clothing. Such a naughty but fun person to have lived such a hard life. Cristi had it rough as well. I do think they liked being my friend because this time around I have had the opposite, a charmed life.

I've got to say I'm a bit lost with the photos/story but as long as you three had a great time (which you clearly seem to have had) what the heck else matters. The memory lives on.

Thank you al for your kind words and thoughts. As I prepare to turn 70 this all has a rather interesting perspective, that we all die. I don't have a lot of time this trip around. We all live and we all die, it's the trip that is important.

And enjoying there love for each other, yes both had a hard life
But you have shown there tender loving side, Timmer thank you for that
You were blessed with knowing them, that is a big positive
You captured them so so well

Women like these two have at their core a social element that is basic and carnal. It is steeped in their need and desires. If they deeply like (love) a certain male then things can get vary crazy and violent. In this case Shadyn was the alpha and Cristi was the more submissive. It was always interesting to see Shadyn react as she had such a territorial streak in her, and it could get intellectually violent.

Truth is I learned a lot about how women worked when they came togeather with another smart physically attractive woman who was also sexually charged.

I have long played the games that these women play. It is important to understand the dynamics of the relationship that can exist between a model and a photographer. I find that most men do not understand the most basic elements of the power plays that women engage in. Simply put, they need to believe that they are at the center of a males universe.

After years I can say that there is a structure that is universal for all women. The model is simply that they are suns, and that all in their shear of influence are like satellites orbiting about them. Nothing occurs with any of their satellites without them effecting that satellites. I have needed to advise some women of this model when they wish to get rid of one of their satellites by telling them it is simple, just get the non verbal agreement of another woman and render that satellites into the other woman's orbit. When finished with draw. This leaves the satellites (mostly men and other women without a 'clue') now in the other woman's orbit. If they try to return the woman who gave them up needs to tell the 'satellites' that they need to have a 'talk' with the other woman that they choose to abandon them for. Works every time.
