my friend nikki...

in all honesty this was just a fuck around photograph...

this is my friend nikki. she's in a band [link]

she sings pretty well.

and ... she designs fashion.

i had her sit.

i shot her from above. as close as this lens would let me.

i love this lens.

it's seriously becoming my favourite. then again ... the nocti is my favourite ... so is the thirty-five summi.

hmm....

anyway ... it's so nice to photograph someone that's easy to photograph.

then again, even the corporate studio photos last week seemed easy.

then again, they were were entertainment attorneys and seemed pretty relaxed in front of a camera.

hmm ... now that i think about it ...

i'd rather photograph pretty girls.
