Traces. (Patreon)

Everything that happen to us will leave traces.Some are visible on our skin.Some are temporary, like the elastic from panties, some last much longer, like the burns Cristiana had on her bottom during this last shooting together, other events are less apparent on the skin, but are leaving huge scars in our mind, that might last for the rest of our life.

Also the gaze of Cristiana is going to leave a lasting trace in our brains, especially in this photo, where it is strangely alined with the furniture in the background, guiding us toward her eyes.

2 more photos of Cristiana later today on my regular social media feed and on DA Subscriptions.

Photography itself is about leaving traces, and saving memories and, finally, this Weekend I got to try at least one of the new vintage lenses from the flee market, the 1978 Leica MACRO-ELMAR-R 1:4/100mm.I mounted it on the Panasonic Lumix S1, and shot a couple of pictures on my balcony, with the help of a tripod and the aperture stopped down to f11.As subject I selected the recently restored JLC of my older brother, and you can see the results on the 2 bonus pictures attached to this post.This experiment has little to do with the use case of nude photography, and the lens was working in the best possible conditions, but I'm happy to say it performed impressively well!By the way, I hope you remembered to adjust your watch for daylight saving time!
