What about just masculizing the Jane Bown photo shoot ... OM1 / 85/f2 lens /
window light only / FP4 [or whatever b/w film she used].
Should all be taken care of with one 36 exposure roll of film. What I don't
understand is the need to fire off 240 frames and all the fuss and muss of
flash to hit just a couple of winners.
