says... You are great! i have a huge respect (and slight envy) for someone who can do what you do here and in the video of the same event. I really wish there were more people like you in the world and that it was the norm rather than the exception.
Respect!!! 6:49PM Jul 16th 2007

says... ThomasSwift, you really should entertain yoursel some other place or maybe with yourself. I would like you to try even half of what she did, actually I dare you...
Dawn thank you for your candidness and for sharing with us that appreciate how difficult this must have been. Please don let yourself be misguided or talked out of doing some more of this. My favorite are 120, 105, 153, 152 and yes the ring is marvelous, 120 7:06PM Apr 29th 2006

says... Artistic indeed! I love the pictures and the video. No matter how many folios I look at I always find myself coming back to this one. My favorite easily. Please come back for more soon. 12:38PM Sep 18th 2005

LeoBloom
says... It's a lovely shoot, but I dream of the shot that isn't there, which would combine 109 and 153 - upper you and lower you equally open and carefree, smiling happily at us. More, more! 9:13AM Mar 24th 2005

postgator
says... I can't believe some of the comments i'm reading about this shoot! ThomasSwift, you try concentrating on framing and lightning whilst naked in an alleyway in broad daylight! And how dare you tell her to shave! Isn't she beautiful enough for you or something??
Dawn, i loved this shoot - it was spontaneous, erotic, funny, exciting and sexy. The video in particular is awesome. Your whole approach is so at odds with many other shoots on this site, it stands out a mile and it's to your credit - this is easily one of best contributions to this site. I'd love to see those Manhattan Bridge pictures, too, incidentally.... 2:18PM Nov 15th 2004

says... superb set of images. must have taken a lot more courage than i posess to do it and better yet it was done well and with a sense of humour.ROUND OF APPLUUSE 4:53AM Oct 28th 2004

TomTom
says... Lovely awareness of your own sensuality. 140 and 144 show the blossom of your beauty perfectly and unashamedly, and your eyes in 157, 068 and 007 are irresistible. I like the playfulness of 005, too, as well as 126 and 127. Very fine set. 8:17PM Jun 14th 2004
dawn
says... Thank you everyone for your candid opinions and comments. This shoot was done despite all odds. Not being a native in Australia, I did my best with what was available. Each of us is endowed with a different set of asthetics. Perhaps my folio has a different asthetic sense than other girls on the site, but believe me, these photos are liberation.
Dawn
P.S. I look forward to doing another set, this time in my hometown - Brooklyn 6:16PM Jun 14th 2004

loupdiloup
says... Particulary #148 is just about perfect, it must be so damm difficult to compose properly in that position, yet your pic is incredibly sexy yet perfectly composed. 2:59PM Jun 12th 2004
mikew653pa
says... Awesome shoot -- I agree, your lips are wonderful. All your lips. Very graphic, sexy and evocative. #s 148 and 152 are incredible. 032 is my favorite -- beautiful eyes. I saw the video also -- very nice! Please come back for more soon. Forget about the negative stuff expressed here earlier -- this is about self-expression, and you've done a wonderful job....... 2:50PM Jun 12th 2004
Volpone
says... This is one of the sexiest sets ever from the concept to the setting, and the model to the photographer. Great work and great art! Pic 52 is fantastic. 2:26PM Jun 12th 2004
ThomasSwift
says... And picture No.148 should be disallowed or open the doors to all! 2:20PM Jun 12th 2004
ThomasSwift
says... Ladies... I'm just thinking out loud... but before you push on the shutter button... close your eyes, take a deep breath. Visualize on the men and women who will be looking at you. Relas, shake off any tension or feelings of being uptight. Open your eyes. Take another breath, hold it and "click". Try to show WHO you are, not WHAT you are. We already know that.
And unless you walk the walk, please be feminine at all times. (i speak too much) 2:12PM Jun 12th 2004
ThomasSwift
says... I say what I see.
This will be my first negative comment.
I feel there is a need to work on your framing. You are cropping off far to much and leaving only a glimse of what is really there. You need to prep yourself and your background. The ring being displayed overwhelms what your subject matter really is. Lighting would help. Don't smile so much and for close-ups of your face, be sure you shave prior to shooting. In as much as you are the subject, better to get to the point and leave the glamor to someone else.
Your pix are quite natural and of course beautiful, as all women are. You choice of a backdrop with the brick is good. I love petite women! To rate this over all... I'd give it about a 72. 12:21PM Jun 12th 2004

says... Awww, what a great folio! Your lips are wonderful - all of them. 005 and 110 are my favs... and 148 for obvious reasons. Wish I had the chance to get to know you personally... 9:10AM Jun 12th 2004

says... You can be my GP anytime! Apart from the obvious, 101 and 81 were my favourites. 120 with the 2 roses is also irresistible. 7:53AM Jun 12th 2004
