Subject: [PML1] CC: Laurie Carr

In Laurie Carr's centerfold (December 1986) she's placed in a nighttime 
urban setting. It's obviously a studio set, and it's more a semi-random 
collection of props than an actual location. Laurie looks good but the 
set never quite falls together.

This is another centerfold where we're reminded that large breasts may 
hide an outstanding bottom. They also can hide a generous (or 
parsimonious) heart, but those things are hard to tell from a 
centerfold. This pose is not my favorite for Laurie, but I do like a 
pose that shows off all three of her best assets: breast, bottom and face.

I don't like the composition. I don't need T-square and triangle lines 
running through a photograph to enjoy it. A lot of that kind of analysis 
is academic and/or pointless, anyway. I do, however, like enough of a 
feeling of composition that there is unified feel to the picture. It can 
be scattered, but the whole frame needs to work to that end. Just as 
this set is a collection of props, the elements in the frame seem to be 
randomly placed. They all look good, especially Laurie, but there 
doesn't seem to be any point.
