To: pml1@yahoogroups.com From: Mark Tomlonson Date: Tue, 28 Oct 2003 09:10:58 -0500 Subject: [PML1] CC: Veronica Gamba In Veronica Gamba's centerfold (November 1983) she's standing by the bed, ready for action. The bed is possibly the same one Victoria Cooke was standing next to. At any rate, it is definitely a product of the eighties. Less "eighties" is the fairly strong geometry of the photo. By this time most centerfolds used a more organic structure than was used in the sixties. There is a strong vertical in the bedposts with diagonals crossing them, first with Veronica's arms and secondly with her torso as she leans slightly back against the post. Veronica's negligee is well placed, accenting and flattering her figure. photographer is responsible for its placement. The puffy collar adds a point of interest without detracting from the main point of the centerfold. (That would be Veronica.) The only down note here is a lack of commitment in Veronica's expression. It could be me, it could be the make-up, it could be Veronica, but I get the feeling it's been a long shoot and she's ready to go home. Other than that it's a good expression and fits the mood set up elsewhere in the photograph.
