hate thinking up names for photos 1

Hate trying to come up with a clever name for my posting, so, at least today, I won't.
Have a few more of the same model and shoot as Fetal that I figure I can post over the next few days. Most will be grainy, cause I like grainy as some of you do and some don't. Many monochromatic or nearly so. Many just messing around with Photoshop that I could not recreate if I tried. Some not even photos I like, but usually something at least interesting in each I will post (experiments that may not have been perfect, but a learning moment for me and interesting). I figure my monochrome and grainy look stems from my learning a long time ago when I had minimal income, loading and developing my own BW film, playing with ISO and development time and printing in my own darkroom. I could not afford color film/slides. Today, I find many of the images (for my tastes) to be too smooth and grain-free. Usually that is not a bad thing, but sometimes, particularly this type of photography I like the textures grain sometimes brings, and I am sure I use too much at times, but so be it, we all have a personal style I suppose.
Thanks all for the kind words on my last post, hope you enjoy some of the others.

The grain brings out the drama of the model's thoughts.. I think she is thinking of surprising her lover...
