"Sideglance and Braids", 2004

I was amazed at the speed of the model braiding her long hair...

Can't figure out how I missed seeing this one. As with most of your images, I love the light, and the sort of enigmatic-seductive look of the young lady enhances the image. Simple. Honest. Beautiful.

Thank you Jim for noting this work. I have made photography so easy for myself (still have a lot of work to do though); the set provides the natural light, the model her presence and inner light...all I have to do is release the shutter, trying to do it at the right moment.

 

If "direct photography" means altering as little as possible of the natural setting, light and moment and doing nothing but simply developing the film and making the print as it turns out then that's where I'm heading.

 

This has been discussed before; perhaps large formate one day.
