Maris,

This is a wonderful treat to have you share your 4x5 film photography with us. I value it especially as I know the care with which you make pictures. The idea of looking at Weston's nude's in this scene carries down a photographic tradition we can connect with. Well executed!

Hi, Maris,

Wonderful concept, lovely setup and shot, and a cute model didn't hurt. The caption is also great.

The blurring on the guy (looks more like motion blur than DoF insufficiency) is just a little disconcerting.

Best regards,

Doug
