    There were five different people other than myself involved in the shot. We put the last girl into a swiss seat ( A piece of rappeling gear for climbing mountains) under her jeans, with a bunch of padding and attached a thin piece of white line that connected to a pully in the ceiling. We also attached strings to her boots that went to pulleys in the ceiling. A big person was in charge of her and two other people were incharge of her feet . A person was in charge of the smoke and another had a wind machine. The Vespa was on it's kick stand so thus the smoke to hide that part. The print you see has lost a bunch of the detail as it is a dupe of a print I had but , the idea is still there for the most part. Then in the darkroom I used potassium ferricyanide ( I believe ) to wash out the lines still showing that were holding her up. There were 4 strobes hitting the back ground and one big soft box hitting the people. It took all night to get all of the variations and that one shown was the one chosen.....
