I met musician/photographer/blogger Hana Kahn through my friend/photographer Kathleen Frank who recently moved to NH from Florida. We've been itching to get together and mess around and spend the afternoon making photographs, and, finally one lovely August afternoon we made it happen.

I didn't shoot a whole lot - I enjoyed helping Kathleen out with her images and just enjoying the creative process and the weather. I brought along my Hasselblad & grabbed a Polaroid (image above) and grabbed a few shots with the Petzval.

My favorite shot from the session, though, would have to be the first image up top (and here it is again:)

This was taken using my tasty little $12 prism I bought off of Amazon. I love how having the prism in front of the lens, twisted in the right way, gives off that gorgeous, milky out of focus bottom. It's picking up the light and refracting it through the prism and creates what looks like this gorgeous foreground element that I'm shooting through. I love her pose and the colors and the background. It's a very atmospheric portrait.

It was a really fantastic afternoon, and I wish I could have afternoons like that more often. Thanks to Hana and Kathleen for making it possible. Go visit Kathleen's website and Hana's as well. Thanks ladies for a fantastic afternoon.
