The Internal Complication of Maggie Dempsey
. . . .This was one of my first long exposures. I took it for a friend of mine because I wanted to give her something as a gift. I don't know why I didn't have my cell phone on me, but I had no way of timing the exposure that night; I set the aperture to f5.6, opened the shutter, smoked one cigarette, then closed the shutter. I guess it was meant to be. The film was Kodak Gold 200ISO.

well robert, i was a procrastinating kind of guy and didn't reply ...and after seeing this photo, i remembered...and i'm glad i did!
this is just plain wicked...i have no other words that are coming to me at the moment, if i did, i'm sure it would be something more meaningful than "wicked'...
everything from the timing aspect, to the framing and the coloring...nicely done -

@ Tonya
The story came quite awhile after the picture was taken and given to her. She was with me there at the pier that night when I took it . . . . I think she refers to that in the story to put it into context a little better for you.
