Description
With a spring in my step I made my way down the road towards the high street. Inbetween my happy strides I caught sight of a lovely old lady taking a break on a bench who I paused to smile at. And what thanks does this smile get? Perhaps a jovial wave? Or perhaps a gentle nod of appreciation that on such a fine day one so young and handsome as me would pay attention to such a wombat as herself?Instead I got this look. And it was a look and a half, she stayed like that all through the focusing, the metering and even when I walked past her facial expression remained like that.
Would it be appropriate at this point to say "Orgasm face"?
f/4 - 1/1000th - 40mm
Leica M6 on Delta 100 pulled to 50 ASA in Xtol (11 minutes 20 C) with 40mm Summicron lens, printed on Ilford Glossy paper (no matte paper left) for 11 seconds at f/5.6 filter 3.

Oh awesome - I love the shot of mine that you featured, it's totally under-rated. But I find it amusing.
Cheers Meredith (we've spoken on my other account, ~GFXPunk )

Ohmygoodness, your description made me smile. Great work with this shot, you captured every wrinkle on her face...and the two young gents walking by sort of frame her well.
