This shoot was produced together with The Italy Girls, whom I met at Jose Villa’s Italy Workshop last year.  This was our second reunion get-together in Chicago (we had one last year too) and we decided to do a little shoot.  Molly, Laura & I planned the shoot and were hoping for snow - that was our vision.  It was a slim chance, but the day of the shoot we had almost 5 inches of snow!  Snow was necessary & we got so lucky.  It was truly a winter wonderland.

It has been really fun to see how everyone’s work has progressed since we met.  On our very first shoot together at the workshop, I think we were all shooting with digital cameras.  Now, as you can see below…we all have film cameras.  (Look at us with all our Contax’s - haha) This shoot was done entirely on film - Fuji 400H & Ilford XP-2 B/W.  I absolutely love the look of film - the color - the contrast - Yum!  It is gorgeous.  I will definitely be shooting more film in 2011.  Thanks again to The Italy Girls - Molly, Laura, Jen, Katie & Yazy!  So fun to see you girls again - miss ya!  Can’t wait for next year!
