who was it jethro

I wonder: Do you remember who was the first person you manipulated (moved about ect) before photographing. More than a simple snapshot, I mean. Not neccesarily a portrait, just a shot that meant enough to move the person around or change the lighting.

Since I don't like directing people, that would probably be myself. It might have been this one, which was originally just a black and white image and the globe was plain white. I added the fire in later using Paint Shop Pro after scanning became more available. (It's me holding a globe light over my head.)

*edit: found the original*

Though I'm pretty sure this one of my brother came before that. I didn't care about the lighting at the time, but I'm the one that put the tape on him.

I think I might have moved that lamp a bit.
I also got myself into that mirror.

the first person I remember moving to better light was way back in the sixties. I asked a young waitress, in an asian restaurant, to step outside under a tree so I could make a shot of her with my brand new petri 7s rangefinder.
