Put it in perspective!

sometimes it just happens

That day I had the pleasure to work with Elisa.
She is a talented and gorgeous model, but also a much better photographer than me, have a look at her site if you don't believe me.

Our idea was to have some fun shooting and to create a strong boudoir and nude set. So we rented a beautiful room in a B&B near my hometown and we started in the morning.
We were done shooting by the late afternoon so we went in the garden to have a drink, relax and talk about the day we had.

I was so tired! When i shoot I'm totally focused and my mind is unable to think about anything else. I didn't had lunch too, because I had a fight with the swimming pool (it's long story, don't ask).
I also had only one film roll left. It was an Ilford FP4+.

She saw a table said "I'm going to sit on that, grab you camera".
I was so tired that I didn't even noticed the structure around the table. I think it was a former greenhouse or something like that, and I was reluctant to go in the room, get my camera, load the film and start shooting again.

But I did, because Elisa was already on the table waiting for me, and I thought "Let's waste this 12 frames and go home!" but then I looked in the viewfinder and OMG!

The scene was stunning. There was this long table underneath the greenhouse, with Elisa on it and the trees in the background, and the late summer breeze was so gentle.

Long story short: we shot 12 frames in less than five minutes. Done.

A couple of days later I developed the film, scanned it, and this is the result. I simply can't choose between this 12 frames. The perfect roll and here it is in same order we shoot.

Looks like sometimes it just happens.
