Frank: Well, she's not comfortable in front of a camera as a general rule, but we're really good friends, and she's more comfortable with me than anyone else. She hates her neck and her chin, so I think that's what you're picking up with the clutching of the coat collar. I didn't force any poses on her; I just let her do what she felt comfortable with. I let her pick out the ones she wanted processed. She liked these the best, as did I. It really was just a bit of dress-up play for two women in their late 40s. We had lots of fun--& lots of giggles--with the process. Always good to find time for play no matter the age, is my motto! Cheers, Christine
