After a full day of various poses / setups / wardrobes, I am sure Brooke was thrilled to have this one be the last shot of the day. I am shooting from the second floor of my studio, through a hole in the floor cut just for this purpose. Of course, being the last set of a long day, I am a bit off from prime too. How did this manifest, you may ask... ? Well, I mistakenly left my not so petite Blackberry Curve in my shirt top pocket. So when I lean over to peer through the hole - swish... it slips out and silently tumbles downward. I am horrified as it is heading right towards Brooke. Miraculously it hits the sofa right in front of her belly... and bounces up, and over, to land directly behind her, where it once again bouces up and off... into the soft bundle of black cloth I used to cover the floor. No damage to Brooke (most importantly) nor the silly flying phone.

Back to the image: while it looks great on screen, it looks breathtaking on the new crop of "fiber" digital print papers. I have a 17" print of this on DaVinci Fibre Gloss that is just amazing. Beautiful tonal ranges that were once exclusive to a fibre based cold light darkroom print.

Finally, enough "progress" to achieve a look and feel I enjoyed in my first darkroom back in... 1973!
