Sleeping Beauty


Sometimes you get a offhand image that works. Today's image of Mallory, my daughter, dozing on the couch is one of them. When I saw her sleeping there under the lamp the quality of the lighting struck me as moody and serene, and I thought enough of it to grab a camera. And, as luck would have it, it came out well

Taken with the little Fuji f31 at iso800. For a compact camera I couldn't be more pleased with the results.

I'm finding the kind of palette here I remember through a nostalgia haze from those covers on antique 1950s detective magazines. The ones that were done by the great illustrators of the middle of the last century. I'd not realized that those greens and beiges had slipped into history's hole. Thanks a bunch for grabbing a handful and pouring them all over this great composition. LUVVIT!
