This photograph appears to have been taken with a Verito soft focus lens. The print is enlarged in a straightforward way that takes advantage of the flare characteristic of this lens. The expression is atmospheric, capturing the light and feeling of May in a poetic manner, and drawing the viewer into a romantic world. This work is typical of that produced by a photographer who insisted that the foundation of art photography was “the expression of atmosphere and feeling.”
