    My Latest of my daughter, Ellen.

    This is taken at a beach in southern Sweden.
    A couple of minutes before this was taken I took another photo of Ellen.
    She moved a bit out of the frame and started to fix her hair (I have just told her that I was finished). I just saw how beautiful it looked and said to her to not move.

    I moved the camera in close and tried to focus as fast as I could.

    When I took the image I just knew that I would love it and a strange thing happend. The feeling of being on a huge beach just vanished. It was as if it was just the two of us left on the planet.

    I only took one shot. I don't know why I don't take more shots in case something goes wrong, but I assume that's just how I do it.

    Totally off-the-wall!

    A Type 55 neg of the students (4th and 5th grades) that I am teaching photo to. This is a scan of the neg (actually scanned it as positive film so the software would not reverse the tones). The neg is under exposed, so I upped the contrast in Photoshop and darkened it a bit.

    I separated the neg after the normal dev time and tossed it in a tub of water out in the sun. I did not get around to taking the negs out of the tub for several days and I had only changed the water once, about 30 minutes after taking the image. Somehow, the negative turned itself into a positive, and there are signs of solarization. Probably could never duplicate the results again!

    Weird and neat!

    PS...the 3rd from the left and the last two on the right are my boys (they turned 11 years old this week.)

    That's a great portrait...

    Fast film, small aperture?
    still great separation from the background, as you mentioned-
