I think you're all taking Photo-Steroids because all the pictures are really strong so far... unfair!

Great portrait Mark. Love the Rembrandt lighting. Bre doesn't take a bad one, does she?

Nice stuff so far, everyone!

Here's one from this weekend.
My brother got married on Saturday, I brought my Speed Graphic and was able to grab a few quick shots amid all the chaos.

Thanks, Garrett, but most of the thanks go to Bre. You're right, she doesn't take a bad one, whether she's in front or behind the camera. The Rembrandt lighting couldn't be helped; I was using that 5x7 Rembrandt camera, so what was I to do?

BTW, I remembered which lens; it's a 12" Kodak Portrait, wide open, testing the "soft focus doesn't fit on wet plates" theory. Looking at the scan, I think it might have been a better portrait with a Petzval. But when you look at the plate, it's hard to say...
