An old one...

Just stumbled on this one. And no, it was not setup or posed. It's pretty sharp, and it was shot with an Olympus E-1, 50 f2 Macro lens at 1/60th of a second at f2.

    It definately makes me want to know more.

    I love everything about it-the reflection, the fact that she's sitting in a hair drying chair, but not getting her hair dried.--is it a salon? The window looks like it has a price tag and infront of her there seems to be a miniature house.

    Kind of bizarre.

    I hope you share the story behind this shot. Pre wedding day shot maybe--getting ready maybe?

    You are so smart, Lizrolleyes1.gif . It's from the 'getting ready' part of a wedding shoot. She was one of the bride's maids. Don't remember if she'd already had her hair done or not. It is indeed in a salon. Not really much more to tell, other than what you want to see in it. It's no wonder I'd forgotten it. I shot this one over two days, with a second shooter. So between us we have about 2,400 images left after dumping the total crap. Pretty overwhelming. On the other hand - two people shooting for the better part of two days? 2400 isn't that many images.

    Very nice.. I can only imagine a Roy Lichtenstein "bubble" next to her saying "He may marry her- but he LOVES me!"
