[Leica] 3 moods of Kina

[Peter Klein]

Thanks, Phillipe, and Jim. This was a rush assignment with 16 hour's 
notice. It had to be done at her house right when she came home from 
school, and a photo sent to the musical organization immediately. I 
don't do formal portraits, and have no experience or equipment for it. 
Her mother is an old chamber music and orchestra friend. And her teacher 
is one of my best friends.  So I improvised.  :-)

You are absolutely right about the third one. I've cropped out the 
furniture and replaced it on flickr.

Yes, I am that tall:  6' 3", or 190 cm.  I did a lot of crouching for 
the pictures, and my knees HURT!

from the wall - the second one is less affected in its left part though.

could have been more carefully studied - I’m thinking of the reflections 
on her skin and those shadows, and a little staging wouldn’t have hurt.
