WATER, WATER
everywhere
I’ve never cared for drinking water. I know, I know. Shame and guilt. I drink unsweetened decaffeinated iced tea by the gallon. But somewhere along the way I noticed a few wrinkles and sags in my face. Shortly thereafter I tripped across an article extolling the wonders that drinking water promises for your skin. It was hard, but I stuck with it hoping for miraculous results. Now I regularly crave water in addition to all the tea that I still drink. Of course, it made no noticeable difference in my skin, but it IS proof that I am not immune to the vanity that rears its ugly head as we age. This next Call is all about skin. I love this theme…

JUROR: Allen Birnbach has worked as a Photographer for over 30 years; from product to non-profit, hospitality to finance and to the performing arts, he has found great success in commercial Photography. His clarity of vision as a professional Photographer flows through his portraiture, lifestyle, landscape and dance portfolios, as well.
The breadth of these achievements may be viewed at www.allenbirnbach.com. Birnbach’s body of work represents much more than commercial. Begin by viewing his fine art photography on www.birnbachimages.com, then visit www.birnbachfigureworks.com for extraordinary examples of the fine art nude.
