Some of my first portraits ever (that weren't of a current lover). First on LF for sure.
Have more B&W, but I dropped all my color stuff at the lab. Still need to develop all my B&W from my trip.

Pfitz -- Beautiful! This makes me think of what Mortensen might have tried, although with his flair for exaggeration. Much better, it reminds me of Rembrandt and Vermeer.

Thanks Jim. Didn't turn out anywhere near what I wanted due to poor development. Been a while since I've shot any film, and not sure 1/2 @ 50/1 Rodinol was the right deal. Film was very, dirty looking, for lack of a better description.

Something about the colours in these two. Really nice.

That quarter second exposure is bang on. You must be proud.
