A few days ago she asked me whether I would be willing to come to her house on Thursday to photograph her while she still resembles "the person I imagine myself to be." Of course I agreed to do so, but I confess that I am anxious about this beyond speech. I am an *amateur* photographer, nothing more, nothing less, and much as I'd like to think otherwise, I know that nothing has ever really been at stake in the images that I make. This is different--something is at stake, I think, and I want desperately not to blow it. I've thought a lot about what I want to do, and I shall let her tell me what she wants, but I will very much appreciate any insight, advice, or experience that any of you who might have attempted such a thing might wish to share with me. Off list is fine. Many thanks in advance. Chandos - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
