About True story:

This shot is from about 1988. This girl had just finished running a cross-country foot race a few minutes before this shot.

I got the nerve to ask if I could take her photo....

...it took me about 5 years to wear her down....she finally said yes....

And yesterday was our 13th wedding anniversary.

Life's great.

Thanks Dave! She says she thinks it is one of the best photos ever taken of her! Her father had an 8x10 of this shot in his living room for years...until he moved and the house was torn down. He gave that 8X10 to her for safe keeping.

All the best,
Kes

I can fully appreciate your desire to marry this lady if she looked that beautiful after running a foot race. Nice portrait, one I'm sure has a lot of meaning for you. But I wonder what she thinks of the portrait.

Best wishes,
Dave

Hi Kes,

A great story to go along with this one!

That first "real" image of someone you care about is always very special. Especially when you can capture that telling eye contact, like in this shot.

Happy Anniversary!

Hi Clive, Thanks! Your version looks good! Nice tones! I used to do a lot of C-41 process B&W film that resulted in a sepia-like toning on the prints. It was never consistent, always changing from roll to roll it seems. This shot may be of such a roll of film, but I'm not sure.

Best regards,
Kes

Hi Kes, Nice portrait but to me it looks a little flat and blurry.
Hope you don't mind me trying to make some improvement. I played around with this in photoshop. Tried various commands and this is what I finished up with.

Photoshop adjusted.
