Comments

I wasn't having much luck photographing this young girl despite her photogenic qualities. That all changed when I gave her my hat. Of course, I never got it back.

Shortly after giving up my hat I also gave up the involved lighting set-up I'd been using in this girl's house. Instead I used the natural daylight / tungsten mix of light found near a windowed kitchen. It was a good move.
