Patrick,
what a kick to see this picture on the 'net

its an older picture of  a girlfriend...
i'm working on a book, kind of a retrospective and through a friend met
with an art director at Random House.  She took this and used it for the
cover.  unfortunately i haven't fared as well yet with my book.

as i recall, the shot was done with a D.R. 50 summicron on Plus-X, probably
D76, 1:1
thanks for pointing it out.  The main hassle was getting an old girlfriend,
'starving artist' to sign the d___ model release! i hope the link you sent
still works> http://www.amazon.com/covers/0679752943.l.gif
thanks again,
steven blutter
