My Scientific Image

James Schnepf is a highly creative photographer who handles jobs for business publications (among a variety of other assignments). One day several years ago he had me posed in front of a drying rack, with eyes alternately opened or closed. This image features on the cover of a portfolio book that he uses, model release signed, etc. Thought I'd give him some extra publicity here. Coincidentally I was wearing a black shirt that day - although it was clearly Jim's creative eye that recognized how this would all look. I was indeed thinking scientific thoughts here, like how to keep my hands steady during the twenty minutes or so of these shots being taken. I've had practice, though, growing up in a family that had a photography business. It was fun, and I'd do it again.
