WHY DO WOMEN HIDE THEIR AGE?


Why women so desperately desire to remain immature and when ageing starts to be a disgrace? Why is youth so important than anything else?

In the world where youth is a synonym for beauty and ageing does not exist, women set out to believe they must stay young to be pretty.
Almost every minute advertize is about how to stay young and pressure of society is so big that women begin to believe that every wrinkle could be determined by the random person she meets during the day.
It is the fact that oldness is different with adult males, society forgive them, they look even opposite, there is a well-known phrase "older man is like old wine, which by the year start to be more proficient and better". We can't obtain that cooperation with adult females.

DO NOT ASK A LADY FOR HER AGE, OR...




In that location is an old idiom "you do not ask a lady for her age".
I have an opinion that many women do not want to hide their age, I am one of them, but... If some woman does not want to hide her age, does that mean she is not a lady?
Why to not ask women for her ages? Did she forget? 
Parents didn't tell her when she was born? Public house made an error and wrote wrong age?
Why is so frightening to ask some women how many years she holds out in this universe?

Every year of life brings us something good and consider something bad, we should be proud that we lived, known, felt something that some younger can still daydream and guess about. 

It is fact that many of the women seem better than their age. Oh, why try to hide it?

Understandably, for some women, especially for those who have hit their forties, fifties and if they look younger than their real years, why would they desire to admit to being older in a society which is obsessed with youth?

For those women which are unable to get away with such a lie, since they actually look as the women in their age or even older, there are those who are prepared to take a step to change their face and body so that they can look younger than they are. This extreme, unfortunately start to be normal and more and more women go for plastic surgery. 
Do they look younger after? No, actually they look different, they are more object of fun than the object of youth.


INTERNET LIES AND RETOUCHED PHOTOS

The group of women who do not want to get that extreme way they use the opportunity that the Internet gives. It is comfortable to stay young with few clicks in an editing program. They put their retouched photos, erase info about their age, relation status, sons, and daughters. They bring again themselves in the years when they were young. 
God knows why those women are not happy today when they have families, kids and why they repeat ages when they just dreamed about what they own now.


Somebody will surely give compliments on those retouched photos, only those women should think did THEY receive compliments or their photo? Some man will even call for a date or a simple coffee that photo, but how the owner of the photo would react? The pain would be even bigger and not to speak of the disgrace, the prevarication is not for somebody who do not know that woman, the lie is for herself.

BE WHO YOU REALLY ARE...

In 21 St century when women are independent they lost self-confidence more than ever before. They afraid to show their face without makeup, their bodies without push-ups. They subsist in the lie, They subsist in fake new youth.

Forties are not new thirties, the thirties are not new twenties, those years are gone, we do not look like then, and what is the most important we do not think like then.


The truth is that no matter what we do, youth will not come again.

Accept your life, enjoy with your families, love your wrinkles because they are notes of Your life. Be who you really are, stop being a fake person, be proud of yourself, because we are all unique!

ARE WE ALL PHOTOGRAPHERS OR IS IT JUST AN ILLUSION?


A few days ago, I had the opportunity to see a photo of my boyfriend which made his good friend. She makes photos as a hobby and since she could not find male model, she asked my boyfriend. To be fair, I did not know that my tall and handsome man is small, pregnant guy.
When did he get pregnant? Who is the mother of his child?

Social networks gave us a chance to express to the world the best of us, our interests, our knowledge, our creativity and our hobby. Everyone can be famous on few seconds, everyone can be gifted.

Is that actually true? Can we all be talented even we are not?
Are we all talented to be models, authors, painters or photographers???

A few years ago everyone believed that they can be models- women spent hours and hours in front of their cameras in their best clothes, with full makeup. This trend went so far that they started to make photos in the toilets, their or public.
On one hand, I would understand that they took photos how they take a shower, brush their hair or clean their teeth, healthy and clean body is very important so they want to educate us, but no, they were all the same in their best clothes and make-up. Today we experience how their toilets look like and I must acknowledge that I saw few nice types of tiles.
Does anybody remember now how these" toilet top models look alike"?

If some man reads this at the moment I will remember him that men were the same just with less makeup.

Nowadays, trends change, models are "passe", everyone wants to become a photographer. The truth is that everyone can take a photo, but real photographers can be like it was before hundred and more years ago, only a few. With the advent of  a digital era, everyone can buy a camera and edit program which helps to produce much better photo than previously with a film based camera. When they take their photos in some editing program that internet offer they suddenly think they are now "professional photographers " and they took "work of art".  

Does everybody forget what makes one person with a camera good photographer?Talent, skill, knowledge, experience builds a photographer, not just a camera.

Good photographer must have an idea, must catch a moment and what is the most important must know how to make a photo.  It is not enough to buy good, expensive camera with already effects inside and to make random clicks everywhere you go. You must catch a moment, unusual, different, you must catch something that your friends, your network friends cannot and you must work in the darkroom to see the first product of your work.

People can shoot now thousand photos in Auto mode with digital camera and they do not need to pay for that, if they had to pay for all those shots, they would be much more careful to call themselves"photographers".
Would be really good that somebody gives darkroom to so-called photographers and to let them see how first-hand looks like. When most of them see how bad they are, they will know that a photographer is a skilled profession. Buying and having film developed costs a money and working in lab costs a time.

I see people take photos every day, random everything they see around selves and posting with claims of being photographer.

 Does a new generation know the art of real photography when they see it or they think everything is worth?
I think even now many people can make a difference between good photography and just average.

It is obviously that many people take photography to be famous and get feedback almost instantly. BUT ... 

Flowers are flowers, cats are cats, we like them in real life, we like them on social networks, but that also does not mean that we are good, that we are already photographers.

 Does someone ask us to put that photo in his house or was anybody willing to compensate for them?

We can be liked all day long, every time when we put our photos, but it does not change the fact that everyone is NOT A PHOTOGRAPHER! It takes talent, skill, knowledge and having "the eye to be a good photographer", not a fancy camera.

Not so long ago I read an article that a new generation of photography came. 
Technology improved, Camera had improved over the years and that is all. It still does not mean who takes a photo is that "new generation". Photographer must still have the talent, skill, eye, everything they have mastered over the year.

Somebody learned for photography, went to school, spent days and months in the darkroom trying to find one great photo, somebody earns money for that.
We can attempt, put our photos, explain what we have in mind, our friends will write or say they are great, the others will preserve their judgement for themselves, but we are not photographers we are doing that exclusively as a hobby and a hobby don't make somebody professional.
As we realized after a few years that we are not models, soon many of so called photographers will realize that they are not photographed.
We can only guess what is the next trend.

"Good photographers" who make real good photography will still like before years shine above all the people running around with their digital camera with no clue how to use it properly.
