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 gorgeous 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. It was breath taking to stand 2-3 feet away from gorgeous Erica and watch the golden light reflect off of the reflector onto her sexy body and cute face. Erica had goose bumps, she was a bit cold with the wet jeans and the cool breeze, so it was hard to get big smiles from her. However,

Mucho, mucho gracias Erica por el photos.
