Thank you Raymond for your comment.

The light flooding in was a challenge....and so is the unsymmetrical 100 year old wooden window frame at that location.

Thank you Amber for the comment.

It was a special afternoon rainy gray light outside...I hope to catch the correct tone of it when making the final print.

In an other shot the model has her eyeglasses on.

Thank you Jim!

The 165mm is a lens I fell in love with many years ago when I rented one for some of my Helsinki work. I have since had the opportunity to add this lens, and a 55mm to make a trio with my 105mm.

For what it's worth I am all the more convinced, with all my random tryouts of other formates just to prove my point, that the Pentax 67II is my basic tool.

The file should contain a sketch of the vertical idea....

...thank you for the constructive comment.

The look of over exposure is easily brushed off as scanning details...and is attended to in the final print.

The model herself liked the fan theme. There is a second photo as pic 2. of my diptyke idea. The picture was photographed horizontally but like you say, and especially with the two pictures side by side, vertical would work indeed.

Thank you all for the kind comments.

Anyone sifting trough my small portfolio note that she is a recurring and persistent model over many years, and I hope, with over many years to come.

I must add that as a photographer I cherish the models whom have the interest to pose annually with great patience. What a wonderful model portfolio that makes, spanning ten or twenty years...or more.

And yes, cleverly noted.... the Benoit Mandelbrot Set...there are always stories, mathematics and chaos behind body art.

The BW Polaroid media 4x5" TYPE 53 isn't exactly so very grainy.

Any and all pic's seen in my portfolio are very carelessly scanned into digital files (.jpg). I have not put much effort into scanning equipment or other computer gizmos, sorry about that...and probably won't. I still somehow still believe in negatives and prints in the old fashioned way.

All my few polaroid tryouts are taken with a Cambo and a Schneider-Kreuznach Symmar-S MC 210mm f5.6 lens...probably two stops down (I had all the lights on in the room) and exposure time from Monday to Tuesday.
