I would make this a long morning or afternoon project where you come to her home, have some tea or wine, discuss her fears and hopes, find out what is important to her. Are there any children/grandchildren, how about any husband or partner? From these discussions you will know whether to use a tele or a wide or both, you will know whether to use her living quarters or garden or even possibly a favorite restaurant. Think back to all the portraits you have seen; which ones style would most reflect your friend? Just keep in mind the basics; focus on her eyes, shoot from the dark side, shoot from her eye level. I even like the idea of a tripod to slow down the affair. I hope this helps. Don dorysrus@mindspring.com - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
