I feel cheesy about it... but it's effective

Please meet...[drumroll]...MrTeddyBear.
He is my light and aperture model. He shows me what is harsh and contrasty, what is soft and shady.

If you see a blond woman throwing a teddy bear up in the air, taking photos. It's me, Jady.
If you see a woman taking photos of a bear at bus stops and in and around Portland parks, it's definitely me.

Practice, practice, practice makes better musicians---and photographers too!
I'm playing with light and speed and believe it or not, MrTeddyBear has much to tell me.

I hate to admit it, but he's kind of cute.
