Re: Tiny Format Portraits
Don,
This collection of photos by your father are excellent. As a former government military historian, I recommend doing a Google search of Army history organizations. They might be very interested in a establishing and archiving a permanent collection of prints in your father's name. Of course, they would prefer the originals. Either way, his photos would be available for use by researchers--and also available for viewing by his and your descendents.

He commisioned me to do a series of personal portraits, some that he had seen in magazines and some I came up with on the spot. He was very pleased with the results.

This is an interesting gal; she speaks like 5+ languages and is SUPER smart. I only had the good fortune to work with her for a short time but learned she is pretty awesome. And it was always great fun watching and occasionally mocking the gents playing for her.
Re: Tiny Format Portraits
Thanks Keith, I really hadnt thought that far ahead. I've been in possession of the negs for twenty five years and just getting around to scanning them.
I've done exactly what you've suggested with my documentary work. I worked an arrangement with a museum that is taking possession of about 100,000 of my negatives documenting obscure practices of Appalachian culture over the past sixty years. They've established a special collection for educational study.
Great idea, thanks.

Took this today. Colleagues of mine who will be moving on to a new job. I've been shooting family photos for them for a couple of years. Sad to see them go! Figured I would shoot a little film today as well.

Re: Tiny Format Portraits
JP: just wanted to say that you have been posting high quality images on a number of threads, I just really enjoy your work. (Of course, the ultimate synthesis would be to plant this fine gentleman in the snowy woods and photograph the combination in soft focus :)!)
