Venetian Reclining 2

As the California sun set on my house in LA, the shadows created perfect moments for self portraiture. That's one of my old ballet costumes, with fantastic and romantic lace and netting, highlighted by the dwindling sun. This is a scanned Gelatin Silver print made with Hasselblad Medium format camera, 220 Tri-X film, pushed.

    beautiful - i like the fact the face is hidden and the skirt is highlighted by the light. medium format cameras give you fantastic results in black and white

    Laura these B &W's have a silence that almost makes it into sound. Very compelling compositions.
