is an image scanned (on 06-May-95) from a 8"x10" B&W print made from the same
negative. If I still have the negative, it's probably a 120 taken
with my Hasselblad. -=DAH=- 18-Sep-95

IMG0102F is probably the oldest studio portrait that I've kept. If I remember correctly, she usually wore glasses with lenses as thick as Coke bottles - I mean, she was blind without them, and couldn't get a strong enough prescription in contact lenses. That didn't stop me from insisting that she remove them for the session. Even in those early days I had established that we would do things my way, or they could give their money to someone else.
Around the time I did this one, I got another commission from one of her co-workers. This woman had a large gap between her upper front teeth, which I personally have always found charming in a woman. (David Letterman looks goofy even with his mouth closed, and his gap doesn't look good on him.)
The print I wanted this woman to have shows her laughing, her eyes crinkled with mirth and her mouth open. She wanted one with her mouth closed so that the gap in her teeth did not show. I returned her deposit, but kept the print for a number of years as an example of how I did portraits. No proofs; take my selection, or take your money back.
I still have a matted print of this, and I believe I still have
the negative. Sink me if I can remember her name. It was probably
the most recent of the 22 photos on the wall.
