The Romantic - a photo on Flickriver

The Romantic

            Dressed in some of her favorite clothes, a flower in her coiffed hair, she waits by the window. Is it her lover she hopes to see, coming home from work for lunch or maybe a long journey. Maybe she is simply daydreaming. I make up a new story each time I view this picture of mine, it is my hope you will as well. 

Next month I travel to France for the first time, for 2 weeks I will live my best life in Paris. I can hardly wait and this picture reminds me of many of the reasons for wanting to visit. 

This hand-pulled photogravure print is made with Charbonnel 55981 Black, and Bistre inks on Hahnemühle copperplate paper. I printed an edition of 8 numbered prints and 3 A/P prints.
