I invited Hugo Zhang over for a joint shoot with a model a couple of weeks ago. You all know Hugo - Mr. Chamonix to most of you, but Mr. "I've got every cult lens in existance" to those of you who really know him. I made him bring his Pinkham & Smith (he actually told me he has two) and I tried it out. What a beautiful and different look it has. Just enought softness to cut the edge and the fall off is amazing. But the problem is - who can afford those things? Now I've gotten the taste of it and I want more!
Here I am stuck with my lowly Heliar (which I thought was something special) trying to do portrait type stuff. Oh well, at least Hugo doesn't live very far away and I think I can entice him back sometime again soon.
(You know I'm only kidding don't you Hugo. We're still friends, right?)
Seriously, it was great to work with Hugo's incredible lenses. If you ever get a chance to borrow such a thing, try it out. And Hugo - you're welcome to come by again whenever you want. Let's set up another shoot together.
