The blog thing kinds of gets away from me at times. How much to put on? How mercenary should I be? Creative? Old? New? Josh Campbell, who I work with, is doing a bang-up job on his blog, featuring old and new work, including his "Film Fridays," where he showcases older work he shot in film. Remember film? Anyway, he's the inspiration for posting these four images, all shot on film.
This lovely lady is Cele Stein, mother of my friend Bea. Years ago, when Bea had told me her mother was modeling clothes at a Miami Beach hotel poolside (at around 70 years old I think), I jumped at the chance to photograph her . I went in with a sort of a Diane Arbus feeling in mind, but I don't think these photos went in that direction. Cele is way too sweet and she was having too much fun modeling (and being photographed).
I recently went back to the negatives to finally make prints for Bea (I know, I know, it was years later) and looked at them in a fresh light. They appealed to me on different levels then they had originally. I mean, she's stylin' and I'm happy to have documented her.
