    Very Winehouse'esq... Much more courage than me. Awesome shot and a definite black and white. Looks like a classic pin up girl.

    Jeff - What's funny is that it was Amy Winehouse I was going for. But I didn't actually think I'd captured it in the end. My daughter even "Tattoed" "Blake's" on my arm (looks like a snake up on my shoulder under the hair) but I was holding the damn camera out from me (hand-me-down camera with no remote and couldn't figure out timer) and I couldn't get the cig, the big hair, the liquor AND the tattoo clearly in any shot. I must have taken 52 shots because I couldn't get it perfectly still and my makeup had smudged off and my arm was tired and the cig bent by the time I took this last one and went for it. As it is, this one's a bit grainy, but I decided it added the "criminal" element and kept it.

    SO, I'm glad the Winehouse effect somehow came through

    You almost fooled me. I have to take a second look to verify that it was really you. The eyes can't lie. Anyway, great opposite image. You succeeded. I can only picture you with a wine glass and not bottle. Cool, Nat!

    This is fantastic!! Well worth all your hard work. The bent cigarette is perfect. I have seen many a challenged drunk trying to light them.
