Hi ! You were right to save a second shot of this session for another thread, another time ? The colour unity works better with this one with a wide range of blue shades from the blueish wood to the dark blue of her socks and the verticals do the same, the stripes on Madeleine's dress and the chains of this "merry go round" ? are responding to the verticality of the chains and stuff. :cool:

Help your biggest french fan, teach him the right american word for this outdoor game... :D

Geee love your work so much ! Give us more !!! :)

Thank you!
D-76 1:1 3min at 20 degrees. It should be another developer but it is not specified in the soviet box, it was a trial-error from another stock from which I had references.

This is a really nice thread of portraits so far! Creative as ever.

Having made fake bubble abstract shapes with the spherical aberration of soft focus lenses mixed with bright light, I went backwards and photographed actual bubbles, wondering if spherical aberration of the lens and being sort of a bokeh shape themselves, the bubbles and the optics would crossmojonate and something weird would happen. Instead I got an even more delicate bubbles... Pictorialists of old like Anne Brigman and Clarence White regularly used glass globes/bubbles as props. Using family as models, I was slightly more White inspired.

4x5 speed graphic, 9" gundlach hyperion, fp4+ film in pyrocat hdc.

Alesandro,
This is a terrific portrait of what I suspect is a family. I hope they get a copy, Good job!

Awesome portraits
3200 W/S though, that's a lot of power to hit the eyes with. How did your subjects react ?
