I honestly have none. I said so in a posting above.

I couldn't agree more. C'mon Raid, you define yourself as a dad photographer, we've seen so many wonderful photos of your daughter Dana - show us some of your chosen partner in life!
As a token of good will, I can offer here two shots: my daughter from the first marriage Ana and my third wife Vaska. 🙂

Dotur, why are you subverting and disrupting the thread in this way? it's about photos of ex-girlfriends ... it's really not a difficult concept

Sorry, Sparrow - but it was not my intention to disrupt anything here.
Over and out.

Thank you so much, Reid! Just wanted to express some personal reserves regarding the intriguing and controversial topics, no offence. I hope there are many more good shots of ex-partners to come on your thread! Cheers, Ivan

This is the only negative I could find of one of my ex girlfriends. She was helping me do exposure tests . . .
.
. . so I could try to make photos of beautiful models like this.
I think that might be why she's my EX?
Best,

Yep, I think that would be a fair assessment 😀

Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder .... some wise guy said once.
I see skin in image 1 and I see a face in image 2. Both are beautiful.

Excellent thread; this is a great way to honor photos that have special meaning that is a historical record of happy moments from our past. Even though we can all likely agree that our current significant others are the best person for us today, here and now, these echoes of the past are those who gave us the experience, life's lessons and memories that made us grow into our present selves.
Taken with my very first Leica, the Leica M4-P of which I foolishly later sold for the Leica M6TTL. Yes, I have a meter. No, I have absolutely no emotional attachment to this camera body.

Date someone completely wrong for you.
After ending a long-term relationship, I had a short whirlwind romance that was nothing short of being the steepest and most turbulent roller coaster ride. She challenged my beliefs, was shrewdly critical and proudly recited her friends' criticisms of stating she had the personality of sandpaper.
She was perfect for me -- I recommend dating someone entirely wrong for you at some point in your life. Every day was a battle and completely shattered my perception of the world to the core. I understand this may seem negative -- but it truly was a positive experience. Some of my beliefs toward the world were absolutely confirmed; others challenged and morphed into new understandings. And new things learned.
In the context of this forum, she improved my photography. She noticed that my photos exhibited technical perfection, but lacked an emotional spirit. I would toss photos for not being sharp enough or lacking the correct light. She, in her own manner, pointed out a truth that I did not want to accept. And like all the best teachers, they will be blunt, harsh and I threw (metaphorically) a tantrum but knew inside that she was right. My best photos at the time that truly captured the spirit of the moment were those shot with the point and shoots. The camera did not get in the way of the shot.
Today I remain a changed person; she was exactly what I needed at that point in my life. And my photography has much improved, but always a work in progress.
