Description
This is an interval in my Autumn Symphony series to shout: Happy Birthday, Flavia! She was born on November 12th. A real Scorpio with a streak of Leo. Her year of birth is currently a very sensitive piece of intelligence....
Anyway, I took this photo of her in the 1980s when we amused ourselves playing the fashion photograper and the top model. I am Flavia's only authorized photographer, since she believes she isn't photogenic and shies off other people's attempts (passport photos excluded). This was the terrace of the house of a friend of ours. At that time, however, on fine days we used to take some bags full of clothes, and go to a number of locations, from parks to urban settings and changed clothes, playing the members of the fashion circus. Usually people around were very curious, but they never believed us when we told them it was a joke. They thought we were members of some candid camera TV crew, and acted in the strangest ways. LOL!
The original photo was made with a Pentax K 1000, but I didn't know where the negative was, so I re-photographed the positive with the Panasonic, instead of scanning it.
Thanks for your kind comments.

Sandra, this is such a wonderful photo of Flavia and thank you for sharing it with us along with the history behind it. Flavia looks so beautiful in this photo and is very photogenic and does appear to be a model. Sandra you did a marvelous job setting up the scene here and taking this photo.
