Such beauty in its simplicity, as usual. A lesson I need to adhere to more often. The print must be magical.

Thanks. I've waited years for the right combination of model, format, place and moment to come together to make this picture. I've not yet finished with it. I'll probably burn in the top half by about 1/3 stop on the next print, and the edge needs to be masked properly (there's some fog because rubylith on its own is insufficient to fully block UV on long exposures).

Great to see an image of yours here, it's been too long. Lovely work. Curious to see the changes you mention.

Wonderful shot. Dig everything about it, especially the apparent texture.

Thanks again. The texture is real. I used Herschel paper for this print. It has quite a strong texture which works really well with some subjects. It gives the print a physical presence that you don't get with smooth papers (although it also makes it very difficult to make a digital repro picture).
