Mya's Tatoos. Gotta love them. Taken with a Linhof Technikardan and an ancient Xenotar lens, on to Polaroid Type 55. Really, a magical combination. I'll have to shoot more. Mojo galore.

One of Elise, when she was sitting still for about 5 seconds at the studio. In one of her more pensive moments.

Shot from last Friday I

Last Friday. This is Mya, whom I found on Craigslist. Great place, that for getting great talent. At any rate, she was one of the models I chose, and I was really happy with the results we got. Everyone did a great job (hair and makeup, styling, talent, etc) pulling this off. Best work I've done in years.

Oh, shot on 4x5 film Kodak 400NC with a Xenotar 150mm f2.8. One of my very few mojo lenses. There is no reason to shoot anything other than wide open, but when you do, it's amazing. Just don't sleep with it - it has radioactive glass.
