Thursday July 11, 2002 was my day off from work at Portrait Perfect. I went for a stroll at Santa Monica beach, and there I came across a Mexican photographer named Hector Mancilla and his model, Erica. I offered a helping hand to Hector - he needed someone to hold his reflector. I hung out with him and we both took some photos of Erica. This shot was taken with my manual Zenit TTL, and a Soligor 90-200 f=4.5 zoom lens using Kodak 200 film, and a golden reflector for fill-in lighting.
