I have known my friend Kim for over 30 years. Twenty-four years ago she visited me in Baltimore and I noticed, on her hand, a ring that was reflecting the light. I had her hold her hands still while I took out my Hasselblad and light meter, then made an exposure. I remember that it took a few minutes. I recently tried to re-make this image and didn't anticipate that it would take almost an hour and I still couldn't get close to the feel and pose of the original image.
