the muse

Rodin had Camille Claudel. Dante had Beatrice. James Joyce had Nora. And I have Ingrid. She is my faithful but sometimes temperamental model when I am in the mood to take pictures around the house. And sometimes she strikes such adorable poses that I just can't resist running for the camera - in this case, a Nikon D50 with my old Nikkor 28-105mm lens. Yes - I went out and got one! *Gulp.* I'm trying it out with the 30-day return policy. So far so good. (And no, she is usually not allowed on the table - not that the sassy girl pays that rule any heed.)
