Critical focus is a little out (about 1cm), that's an easy fix.

Henry @ 5
This is Henry. He likes to ride his bike over to see what I'm doing. If I've got the Model A out of the garage, it's an open invitation. Sort of like Dennis and Mr. Wilson. He went camping for his birthday and got a bulb horn for his bike. He thinks my garage is messy. He's right.
Done with a Graflex 4X5 on Tri-X with an 8 1/4" Velostigmat that I've modified to be permanently 'soft'. More on that perhaps later.

Look at that guy. One day, 60 years from now, he will be the guy with the last running Model A. It's in his eyes.

Thank you, D-Tach and Randy
It is a lovely portrait, Alastair...and at f/2.8! You did a great job with focus, and she did a terrific job staying still!

Jim,
That's a super portrait of Henry. And I suspect it won't be many years before both you and Henry have wrenches in your hands and work together on the Model A. I hope he likes looking at a large format ground glass too. Appears to me that you have an honorary grandson. Looking forward to more portraits of Henry as he grows up.
Keith
