Smile with Red Necklace #4 of 4
One last addition to the sequence. Rummaging for a comb perhaps?
Relatively few Flickr members will have had the experience of remembering as though it were yesterday a session such as this photo was taken in, when in fact it had been nearly 30 years earlier, the initial commercial prints had been disappointing, and the negatives subsequently lost track of. Then, when those negatives eventually do get discovered and scanned, they reveal for the first time how faithfully the camera had caught both the physicality and personality of the subject, it feels like time-travelling -- thrilling but a bit disconcerting...
In my eagerness to capture the lady's face, I chopped her foot off, but at least #3 does not have this fault (and her feet are seen more intimately elsewhere -- who'd have guessed what those demur little shoes were hiding? š)
