Oona.

Wet-collodion on glass. Albumen print. Oil when the plate is wrong. The sitter is cut and fitted here before I pull the slide. I do not retouch a mouth that set.

Left Dart, Arrival Sitting is the sheet. The coat is studio-made. The left dart stays countable against the dark ground. That is what I print.
