salma...

"the photographer will loosely prepare..." these friggin' descriptions just floor me!

i'm not a boob guy.

that said ... once i was able to stop fumbling with my equipment (read: cameras) and focus on salmas face ...

well ...

honestly, they are large. like really fucking large.

'twas hard to focus on her face.

but ... her face is so lovely.

so is she.

we were backstage with robert towne who was showing his movie -- a movie that i can't remember the name -- and i asked her if may make some photographs in b/w.

she was totally into it.

so ... once i got past her obvious attributes ...

i made a few.

that's what's so nice about leica glass ... you really don't need a lot of light to make something interesting.

not only that ... but ... i didn't want a typical photo of her.

she was on a couch in the green room ... i backed up enough for a higher than normal position ...

and made this one.

leica mp. leica apo 75/2.0 summicron aspherical. 1/60th at f/2.0. ilford delta 400 (plus 2 at 1600) for some lovely grain.

this is a scan ... you should see the fibre print ... my God.
