..April 2006 New York..
Darlinda Just Darlinda! The first shot taken for Striptease Burlesque. A year and a half before the exhibition was shown at Gallery EF in Tokyo.
Windy, cold April night on Charles Lane. The wind whipped off the Hudson, up the West Side Drive, and down the alley way called Charles Lane. First time I got a shot using flash light lighting to work. Can’t believe she stopped shivering from the cold for a 10 second exposure.
Like the other photos for Striptease Burlesque, I wanted the portrait to look cinematic. I’ve always thought there was a lot of drama in this photo. The location and Darlinda’s personality created an interesting image.
It’s impressive she could stand so still for 10 seconds and you didn’t get blur. Great shot, glad the flashlight worked.
