On the rainy day of this shoot, I remember my deteriorating eyes searching through the viewfinder for assurance. It occurred to me that perhaps we were all impressions - remotely true, stirring and still... lovely beings - even in real time. My subject either moved or moved me when I finally took the shot. In print, her wondrous face is a bit blurred.Sunday, April 10, 2011

Okay, I must say the photograph is exquisite. Your use of black and white and a few grey tones is sumptuous. little strokes balance out the fuller foreground. The dog is a perfect touch. she sort of matches my dress. seriously though, it is lovely, and a wee bit spooky...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful portrait B!! Also looks like your getting the printing down.
ReplyDeleteThank you, ladies, and yes, I'm ever so slowly getting the process! I still have much to learn, but what fun it is to make discoveries...
