Description Picnics, days in the parks, pleasant weather all seem to go together.  We had gathered to discuss the important matters of the day, really just an excuse to relax outside, free of responsibilites, for we were young and felt we knew what life was about.

Leslie, was her name, and as long as I had my camera with me, she was going to be immortalized on film. People, especially beautiful females always seem to look great lying down on a blanket, with the camera positioned above them.  Personally I think this posture relaxes you to give a more natural look.

My friend, from yesterday's circle picture, was asking if I remembered one of his girlfriends, from the 1970s.  Going back into my archives it was a simple matter to find his picture and hers from the same time period.

Taken with a Hasselblad 500C with a Zeiss 80mm F2.8 Planar on Kodak Plus X panchromatic roll film.

after almost fifty years maybe it would be not less interesting to ask her if she remembers him ...

This is a awesome composition! I 100% agree about how a woman looks in this camera position. There is something about the simple beauty of a woman, who in that moment was happy and carefree. It is her expression that renders this piece as "I wish this could last forever".  Love the picture, thank you for sharing this!!
