Nice job, Paul. But! Always a but, isn't there. She is most likely a very nice person but from the photo and her expression I would not want to know her. If you were trying for the gangster's girlfriend, or prostitute look you nailed it. Might make a nice cover for a Private Eye type

I, too, think it's a wonderful photo. I'm not fond of the chair, perhaps an old chrome framed diner chair might work better. I have to strongly disagree with Graywolf. I'd like to get know her. Very much. g Isn't your model the young lady you found tending to a window display some time

I take it back, about the chair. It adds a certain grittiness to the photograph. The more I look at it, the more I think you could completely change the mood by changing only the chair. The one in the photo lends to a smoky, crass environment. Perhaps the back room of a road house or a

Thanks Tom. She was actually somewhat cold and troubled. She appeared to be the owner of an expensive clothing store in upscale Birmingham, so when I asked her if she wanted to model I assumed she was much older than she really was. Turned out, she was only 19. She had grown up in Toledo, Ohio

Good memory. Yes, that's her. She of the incredibly tiny waist. I met her when I shot her through the doorway with my Leica. The red dress pic was seen here before as well, but it was a lousy rendering of a bad scan. Still not a great scan. Someday I have to get a film scanner and redo some of

Paul, It's a nice retro-looking photo. (Maybe not so retro-looking model - I suspect the hair style was different back then. - Bingo, that's what in this picture was not quite 50-60s for me.) There is a strange thing that bothers me a little bit. Some areas of the skin look a bit bleached
