Miss Ava in a West Hollywood motel last September. The life and undefined emotion in her right eye caught me and I've shown this photograph often, mostly in venues where nipples or pubes are prohibited. Surprisingly we never really connected during this shoot, but to her credit she gave me good pictures anyway. The film has more detail, but I liked this high contrast interpretation.

I've got a four-day trip to North Carolina coming up but don't have the dates yet. I hope it can wait long enough for me to recover - the cold has now moved from nose and throat to my chest and it's distracting. This is a dayjob trip and the task is only mechanical so I could do it, sick or not. This will be followed by a two-week trip to another place in North Carolina. I should probably go find a model or two to work with while I'm there.
