this is my friend leslie.  i’ve been pestering her for a couple of months now to let me photograph her.  she demurred at first, saying she’s not photogenic, but i finally prevailed.  THANK GOODNESS.  with the help of late afternoon sunshine, extreme wind and three red balloons, these are easily some of the best images i’ve made.  thank you leslie, for being a perfect model, and so, so lovely.

*on a side note: you, too, my friends, can have photos like this.  i’m availalble for portrait sessions in september and october.  treat yourself!
