August 2011 Portraits

[Scott Davis]

I'm just amazed you could get the cat to sit for that picture! Love the sense of humor in the photo.

And a little more wetplate for you. Halfplate collodion. Mark is an amazing photographer and really helped me set up this shot in a number of ways, including access to the lenses. We tried several and ended up with some good ones with a Cooke F3.5 If I recall. This really was needed to go along with his Pixie series.

SAM

It is only a small part of the incredible person who is SAM.

8"x10" Wet Plate Collodion Ambrotype on black glass. Shot with the Cooke 18" Soft Focus Portrait @ f5.6 for 9 seconds

What an incredible portrait! Too bad it was taken on a one-shot medium -- I'd love to have a print of it.

Feeling like being on the side... Nothing to contribute with... And there are great portraits being produced!

I am now on a boat in the Faroes, leaving next Friday for NE Greenland for some geology work. I will portrait the crew (mostly Greenlandic), one by one. AT least that is the plan.

We will be in the middle of icebergs and dense sea ice. Going north 76 degrees, trying to push to 81N. Luckily we have a icebreaker for emergency...

It has nothing to do with portraits, but it is just that I am frustrated I will have nothing to show this month and maybe next...

Did I say Faroes women are beautiful?

Thanks Jay & Scott!

Chamonix 45N2 - Cooke PS945 - HP5+

Another great photo, Scott; where do you find these beautifully sharp lenses?
He looks a little different now with his nose out of focus.
