This is the alternate (b/w form) of "Sometimes..." [link]
Model is still Zinn.

I like it better, but for a model like Zinn who wants something in her portfolio, a color picture that shows off her flawless skin and tone is probably more useful from a professional standpoint. Artistically, I think black and white just kicks everything in the nuts.

A comment about conversion: this was performed with a channel mixer adjustment layer set to 70% red 30% blue. To slightly flare the blacks (which would look all RONG in the color version) I added a duplicate layer of the background, set it to blending mode "darken" and desaturated it, then applied a slight gaussian blur. The blur layer was set to 10% transparency and I erased it from areas where I wanted her to look crisp. For more details on this simple technique see: [link]
