Hello Readers
The Lens-Artist Challenge this week has an “eyes” theme.
The first photo is special because check this out- I took the photo a long time ago. It reminded me of a mini photography lesson Tina Schell gave us on her blog here.
I have been meaning to share the photo but never had the chance, until today, because Tina is hosting and she just so happened to choose the eyes theme.
****
1) Eyes with catch lights for Tina
The photo with the eyes was in a folder that had some street shots – most were from a trip to Destin, FL – so I decided to just use some for the rest of this “eyes” post.
2) Calling this next set of eyes “LAYERED”
3) Next up we have the lady on the right giving me “the eye” – it reminded me of a family member who used to give someone the “mean eye look” to show disapproval. Did you ever know anyone who had such dramatic use of their eyes?


5) This next lady had a story to tell with her eyes – with the makeup and tattoo. We met this nice lady while shopping for some discounted books to read while visiting family.
6) Speaking of books – Check out this book cover. This was a casual read with lots of quotes and encouragement. The author is from NYC and so it has that vibe as well.

When it comes to that mean look from someone we know, there’s nothing much to say. I experience it almost everyday.

And we had a family member who was noted for giving the “evil eye”

It is okay!
Kinda of a normal thing here in my side of the world, where elders give away “that look” to the little ones.

This is an interesting collection Yvette. There is nothing like a “side-eye” to know where you stand with someone. 🙂

Hi Linda – I like the term the “side eye” – we always called it the “evil eye”

I always learned it as the “evil eye” too Yvette. I think the first instance of the expression “side eye” I read/saw, was when Sophia Loren cast her eyes on Jayne Mansfield’s dress. Have you ever seen the photo – it is quite famous? I’ll send you a link from Wikipedia now in a separate comment.

I didn’t know if you’d seen it Yvette – even if you had, it is a little smile. She did not hold back her impression!
