Outrageously Alice
“I told her it was our assignment, that I had to get used to my camera.
At first she wanted to make sure her hair was combed and her makeup perfect, but after a while she didn’t seem to care. She more or less ignored me. I caught her sitting on my bed with her legs drawn up, chin on her knees. I took the way she looked in the morning after a shower, her hair wet and clinging to her head above the collar of her robe, no makeup. I caught her reading a magazine. Stretching. And because I was lookin...g at Pamela with different eyes, I saw a lot of things I hadn’t seen before.
When I picked up my prints, though, I realized how amateurish they were. Some of them were all washed out—my exposure was wrong. Or Pamela was facing away from the light and her face was in shadow. At least half the pictures looked too posed, too false, or the composition was all wrong—a vase seemed to be growing out of the top of her head, stuff like that.
But out of the thirty-six prints, two of them held my attention—the one of Pamela with her chin on her knees, and one of her looking out the window.MoreLess
