To: pml1@yahoogroups.com Subject: [PML1] CC: Patti Reynolds From: Mark Tomlonson Date: Wed, 28 May 2003 10:06:13 -0400 In Patti Reynolds' centerfold (September 1965) we've interrupted either her preparations for a bath or some stage of dressing. What's going to happen next seems to be open to negotiation. I really like the portfolio section of the Cyber Club (as you may have guessed) . I like how in some cases it makes it possible to see how a centerfold was created, why some of the choices were made. Patti's turned just slightly away from the camera, looking over her shoulder at us. It's a good pose that works well on its own merits. Taking a look at the portfolio, it's also the pose that not only is the most flattering to Patti's bottom, but her breasts and face as well. The portfolio also reveals that Patti has hair. Lots and lots of rich, flowing hair. So much hair that it distorts some of the lines in what otherwise would be good poses. The "do" settled on for the centerfold is an excellent way to exploit the richness of her hair while maintaining the integrity of the pose. The skill in exploiting not only her hair but choosing the best pose speaks volumes about the skill of the photographer. Photographer: Stan Malinowski Scoring: Pin-up: 4.0 Erotic: 3.0 Artistic: 4.0 Overall: 3.6 Cyber Club Portfolio Photo I like better than the Centerfold: None. #7's got some promise as a possible centerfold. In my centerfold critique of Patti Reynolds' foldout, I credited the photographer, Stan Malinowski for an outstanding job of selecting a pose that fit Ms. Reynolds. Mr. Malinowski informs me the proper credit for that should go to Playboy's Associate Photo Editor Bev Chamberlain, who was in charge of centerfold shoots at the time. For those of us who find such details interesting, Mr. Malinowski also says the picture you see as the centerfold was not from an 8xl0 negative (although several were shot) but from a dye-transfer copy of a 120 roll-film negative. http://cyber.playboy.com/members/playmates/files/1965/09/centerfold.html http://cyber.playboy.com/members/playmates/files/1965/09/07-lrg.html Mark Tomlonson Kalamazoo MI
