Natalya B. Parris photograph - “The Forest Nymph” (page 40) was published in Living Artists of Today Contemporary ART International Vol. II book http://issuu.com/art_beyond/docs/livingartistsoftoday_interior_low_r The Forest Nymph Photo Walking at sunset in May 2012 in Milton M. Kaufmann Park in Maryland USA with my daughter Victoria, I saw Cornus Celestial Hybrid Dogwood flowers that reminded me so much of Victoria’s eyes. I said, “Victoria, quickly climb inside this tree!” Victoria climbed under the branches without much enthusiasm and immediately exclaimed, “Small bugs are crawling all over me! I can’t stand it!” I said, “Sunset is nearly over and I have a vision of your eyes in this tree. If you want to be a model you must extend your ‘comfort zone;’ you must learn to overcome your fears. Most importantly, you do not take photos only when you feel like it. You must be available any day any time when the opportunity comes. Being a professional means do the best job you can when you least want to do it. This is your chance to prove to yourself that you can do it.” It did not come easy to my eleven-year-old daughter; it was a challenge, but she did it! I am so proud of her. This photo is a reminder that if you want something with all your heart, you can do it no matter how hard it is.
