vinyl background from China, a bit smaller than i originally thought, but still works ok Gridded Elichrom dish on the left to make sharp-ish shadows. And another source on the background, to get some light going there there.

Terrific mood, Sergei.

[Old-N-Feeble]

Sergei, you never cease to amaze me. You are a true master.

[mdarnton]

That's great! I have wondered if there was a good use for this cheesy backgrounds....

[Jiri Vasina]

+1, Sergei...

[lab black]

Sergei ...

Exquisitely graceful.

[SergeiR]

Thank you for kind words, folks.

There used to be a time when woman science fiction writers would adopt male names just so that they could break into the market. I am glad that those days are over. Connie Willis, an acknowledged Grandmaster of Science Fiction. Great sense of humor. Totally down to earth, talking to her is like talking to someone's mom, which she is, as we are friends with her daughter. She is also incredibly tolerant and gracious: my earlier photos of her were lacking (my fault entirely) and she did not hesitate to stand in front of the camera for me again.

Here is Vijayut Totrakulchai, who helped me immensely in tracking down and buying collodion in Thailand so I could shoot wet plate. This is a tintype (actually shot on black acrylic sheet), about 5x7 inches, shot with a Fuji 210mm lens and exposed at f8 for 16 seconds.
