Sitting done October 12, 2004
Usually,
the time between setting up a sitting
& the sitting itself is maybe a
week or at most two, but because of
Ashton's long trip down to Los
Angeles, we had to wait almost two
whole months before getting
together. Such sweet
anticipation!
I live in the Pacific Northwest, and the weather here is typically overcast from September to April, but Ashton arrived on a rare, sunny October afternoon. I know I've used the bright sunlight coming through this particular window before (with Leona; click here to see one of the best of these shots reworked), but that window is the only one that faces south, and a sunny Autumn day is so rare, I couldn't resist putting Ashton in that light. | |||||||||||||||||

I am definitely enjoying getting to know Ashton, but I am aware that the light is difficult and that I'm really not making an improvement on my previous sitting, with Leona, two years ago. (Ashton & Leona kinda look alike, too, don't they?) I don't mind returning to previous concepts as long as I'm making an improvement to them, but I didn't feel it. So, we closed the window shades, set up the lights, and moved on. This sitting continues with Bench Photos.
