Mamiya RZ 110mm F/2.8

Birthday Blink.

2017, Favourite, Film, Inspiration, Kodak Portra 400, Mamiya RZ 110mm F/2.8, Mamiya RZ67 Professional Pro II, Portrait, Q&A, Within 200 feet of My House™

Last week, I took this photograph of my daughter to mark her 12th birthday.

But the image was created with film, so I didn’t know until yesterday that she had accidentally blinked (the loud shutter noise of the big Mamiya RZ67 is often startling).

I’m posting the image anyway because it’s painterly and beautiful and because I want you to know how much it’s killing me, LOL.
