Anytime I take people shots, they usually suck up at least 2/3 of the frame. Looking at the print I have here, I can pretty confidently say that she wouldn't have been the subject on the best of days... There is kind of a weird story behind this; I was waiting on some friends who were late (they actually arrived during the exposure), and I was watching this massive space. I was idly seeing if I could take the shot and noticed four people coming up the side aisles at the same time. So I took it. It was a 1 second exposure propped on some fixture that was sticking up out of the ground. This whole thing came out of boredom and a need to be distracted from the New Tate's nosebleeding 0% humidity that day. The fact that she was in a state of nervous paralysis may have just been lucky.
