Dark light/shade conditions continue to be a challenge for me, you look like you've got it figured out!

The main issue I had was too much bright light so the shade was good. Someone mentioned Philip Lorca di Corcia and made me think about how it would work with a lightbox.

Robbie Lawrence is one of my favourite contemporary photographers. Such a unique eye. ‘A Voice Above the Linn’ is a wonderful book and I have his latest, ‘Long Walk Home’, still in its packaging awaiting the right moment for my first look through.

Yes, I saw that on your Jotter and was heartened to see. Curious to hear what you think.

And this "A more orthodox photographer might say they are underexposed, too dark, too tightly-cropped, too grainy." is why I love this work! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks! She is getting faster and faster while I am getting slower and slower. I think we’ll converge in about two years.

Good point. Mainly to break up the flow but possibly out of place.
