In late November 1992 I was to face a photographer. I waited in her Vancouver hotel room until she came out fresh from the shower. Her skin glowed but later I noticed she had hangnails. I set up my equipment:
A Mamiya RB-67 Pro-S
2. The extremely sharp 140mm macro floating element lens.
3. A 220 back loaded with Kodak Plus-X rated at 100 ISO.
4. A Dynalite 800 pack with two heads. One with a grid and the other with a 2x3 ft Chimera soft box.
5. A Manfrotto Model #055 tripod with the original model Arca Swiss Monoball head.
When I faced the photographer she told me, “This is unreal. It almost seems like I am taking the portrait. Your equipment is like mine.”
I took 12 exposures. This one was the fifth.
