“Ricoh Girl”

© 2015 Thousand Word Images by Dustin Abbott

I wanted to take advantage of the misty mood outdoors, so I equipped my daughter with one of my vintage cameras and used a vintage lens of my own. I wanted to get a bit of the Helios swirl going in this shot. I liked the great color, too. The whole series is fun, but I wanted to start with this closer shot of the “photographer shooting the photographer”.
