March 2011 Portraits

[Mark Sawyer]

Love that last one especially, Eddie! I agree with Garrett, all are very nice, but that last one shines.

With a 24-inch Prince's Rapid Hemispherical (Rapid Rectilinear) on 8x10. A lovely lens, more subtle than a Petzval, but still with its own signature. (Thanks, Steve!)

Mark,

Your wonderful pictures make me hesitate to post mine. Anyway, mine are just snap shots with a handheld 45 Saber, taken in my recent trip to China. Old Street in Shenzhen.

[JMB]

Hey Chris, nice shot. What kind of film?

really nice Mark ! I knew you'd make it sing

[Mark Sawyer]

It's easy to get the old lenses to sing, Steve! I want to get them to do the dishes and the yardwork...

I have to say that those old Rapid Rectilinears are underappreciated. A nice look, and one of the easier of the nineteenth century lenses to use.

A really nice portrait. Very teen-age feel to it. Lord, I'm glad my kids have grown out of that! But it's a portrait her parents can treasure.
