Hugo, nice! I really like these. Especially the second one.

My daughter sat for me last weekend. She finally "sat still like a statue" -- or at least close enough!

Nice to see another fabulous Portrait Carbon transfer from your collection. I can tell the relief is outstanding . A homemade carbon tissue , carbon transfer portrait is the ultimate portrait print process that can bring your dearest person comes alive.Now how much do you charge for an 14x17 ?

[Curt]

Jim, your carbon portraits are simply amazing!

Super print and the composition works wonderfully, despite being 'all wrong' in the conventional sense! Just goes to show that whatever works, works! I'll soon be experimenting with my sons for 8x10 portraits, tho I am glad I have shuttered lenses. 2.5s is asking far too much for them!
