This is lovely Warren.
It's funny how contemporary she looks. i see any number of students here with hair and clothes like that.

One of your very best Warren. I love this. - Albert

Really nice, I agree that the complexion is inhanced by the background. I remember the Pen FT, they were nice little cameras.

BTW, I took some illegal photos at the London performance of "Hair" a year before this. I snuck the Olympus in with the body in one pocket and the lens in another pocket. The notorious nude scene took an exposure of half a second at f/1.4 and came out so well you could almost tell the actors might be nude. - Warren

Oops, I screwed up the color space! How embarrassing! Adrian, thanks for pointing this out. It's fixed now. - Warren

superb Warren! I think my parents were seeing 'Hair' in Sydney, Aus at the time this one was taken, and i was hating my first year of boarding school.

Love the exposure, colours, comp, and directness of her gaze. Her complexion adds enormously to this image also. excellent scan. I can't help but wonder what some extra contrast & saturation might do for this beauty?

thanx heaps, adrian

Love this one: the various stripes could fight horribly but they don't. Tim
