My Film Friday post Yashica FX-3 Super 2000 mentioned that I planned to write reviews of lab processing the film I shoot. In the review, I’ll tell you how well they did, what the experience was like and use a rating system to rank each lab. In addition to lab reports, I also plan to write Film Reviews, looking at the performance of various and different kinds of film, such as Eastman Double-X.

This week we continues to celebrate National Hispanic Heritage Month. It runs from September 15 to October 15, highlighting the histories, cultures and contributions of those American citizens whose ancestors came from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean and Central and South America.

Burlesque derives from the Italian burlesco, which, in turn, is derived from the Italian burla.

During this time I’ll be featuring a different image of her that was made over the five years that I was lucky enough to have photographed Pam and showcasing all of her many, many looks in many different styles. This is from our eight session together on July 18, 2013 and had a Little Red Riding Hood theme, but with a sexy twist.

The Wordy Wednesdays feature ran for so many years on my former blog that I thought it was time for a change of format for this blog. Inspired by Gary Bernstein’s book Burning Gold decided to see how many days I could publish a different portrait of the same model, in this case Pam Simpson.
