Frank's pic today of Vivian reminded me that I'd been working on this one a
while back, and was sidetracked. It's still a bit of Work in Progress, but
for all practical purposes, it's finished. For this one, though, the
Duotone process in Photoshop was used, softening the tones a bit compared
to the straight B&W print. I was curious to see how that technique might
apply to some portraits, especially portraits of this type. As usual,
comments and crits welcome.

Hmmmm, She looks happy, and well dressed.
There is no drug induced trauma in her eyes, and she doesn't have the look of someone who has been pimped out for profit.
I dunno Shel, I think you need to try harder if you are going to make it as a "social commentary" photographer.
