I'm glad you enjoyed this post on Tina. Her life was so powerful and complicated I was worried I wouldn't do a good job. But your approval means a lot. Yes, I love Lee Miller too. Another fascinating figure in the visual arts. I will try to get to her also. Do come back when you can! Claudia Kate,

I can't tell you how much I am moved by them. Coming from you especially, they mean a lot. If I "opened up entire new worlds of experience" for you, then I am beyond words. As for your last point, I have considered it only because of feedback like yours. People have been suggesting it to me. Gosh, I don't know! It's so hard for me to imagine about me and my little blog :-) But hey, we'll see! Thank you, Brian. Claudia Brian,

You are a fantastic teacher and I have learned a lot from reading your posts. The art within, and your particular slant, is a slice of life that I rarely get to enjoy. Quite frankly, I think you have a potential money maker here...just something to consider. Brian Claudia,

You deserve the mention, and then some! lkwinter, I am speechless - and that's tough to do :lol: You're a doll. Thank you, thank you for saying such incredibly nice things.

What can I say, you're fascinating and down to earth all at the same time, but dear me, I've gone and rambled... Speaking of photos, I can't tell if you look like her cause I've only seen two photos of you; do you have a link to a photo page or something? Or are most images of you done by artists?

I find your blog to be intelligent and thoughtful, the detail that you go into it is phenomenal . Few other site can combine the mixture with humor and mirth quite like you bring to your blog. Thank you so much for adding my name to your roster of photographers. Actually personality has a lot to do with it, that and your passion for the arts.

We can go to lots of web pages to see art, lots and lots of places to see nudity (artistic or otherwise), but we come here to enjoy your passion for your role as muse. I really appreciate that you love art modeling and are so good at it. It is a passion that shines through all your posts and comments. You are an excellent model because you understand it and you love it, and that inspires me to be a better model as well. This article is very interesting. Thanks for sharing about Tina Modotti's life and her pictures. Like you, she was a very beautiful woman who boldly and unashamedly embraced the natural beauty given to her by God, and used that beauty to convey the inner vitality of her soul. She certainly looks like you, Claudia, in spirit as much as physical features... This post illustrates why we keep coming back, Claudia.
