I was photographing a lass on a heavily-populated public beach and another lass noticed me and eventually asked me if I was a talent scout or something like that. i replied no, that I was just photographing this gal mostly for fun. This second one asked me if I would photograph her. Gulp, I thought, ah, why not? This second one was quite shapely - to say the least. I asked her if she was going to return the next day so I could give her a print or two and she said yes. At which time she told her boyfriend to go away while we did some picture taking. Here is one of the images. They sure didn't make 'em like this when I was 18 let me tell you! I did NOT retouch this except to get rid of scratches and the like; this is a vintage 1979 piece of PlusX film.

Yes, I started teaching 9th grade Math/Science at 70... confused, I went back to my yearbook from High School... and you are right....
She is a beauty, indeed, and you certainly did her justice.

Finally found the first image of this lass. It was posted under the name "Sunshine" on April 12, 2019. Downloadable but cropped.

Always like film--just not the tedium and SMELL of processing. Nice stuff.
I must be getting old, for some reason I often seem to find attractive women of the 60-80's more attractive than attractive women of the last 20 years and your photos captures that for me. I can't explain it (well I could, but not in a way that makes "sense"), I just accept it and enjoy your images.
