The so
called "Modeling Sessions" and their victims:
These were all taken
in '71/'72. I had taken up photography as a conscious attempt to avoid only
doing electronics. These modeling sessions did help to pick up some of the
basics and the girls got some nice photos (if they were lucky).
Extra
excitement was provided by the lighting. We used tungsten photofloods, which
gave out huge amounts of heat, but only just enough light, for the available
films. They also only lasted a few hours and normally failed with a bright
flash and a pop. Which kept the models on their toes.
However the modeling
sessions quickly become repetitive, which explains why the photos are all from
my first year.
I started out using a Zenith E with 50mm and 135mm lenses.
When you try to explain to people these days just how primitive this was, they
don't believe you (manual iris!). Then I worked all summer to buy a Canon TLb
with 50mm & 100mm FD lenses.
The film was mostly Kodak Tri-X &
