Alex, they're getting more fascinating by the day. I really like this environmental portrait; it has an interesting contrast in its content.

Really nice! The plain background and the isolating powers of the AE make the dad pay attention to what's important. A picture of parenting as much as a photo of a child.


I felt like shooting a sheet of film last night so I could have a full combiplan tank for developing. FP4+ isn't quite fast enough for my "Mortensen basic" hot light (brooding lamp with a CFL in it), so I underexposed it knowing it would be the moody and darkish sort of thing the pictorialists did 110 years ago. I used my speed graphic at 1/10th sec and f4.5 with a 9" Gundlach Hyperion lens. It's not anything prizewinning, but I'm pleased with it.

I decided to do some 4x5 today, but lacked a model so I ended up using a tape measure and some guesswork to do a self-portrait. As I was developing a pair of negatives, our member of parliament (we have a federal election next month) knocked on the door. I knew him long before he first was elected, so I invited him into the darkroom and he watched while his handlers fumed outside. He stayed to see the negatives come out of the tank, and that might just have been the best part of his day (he does 200 doorsteps a day at 2 minutes each!)

PS Jesse - stunning!

This post should be on September. Not on top of new October thread !
Do not know who is doing such moves, it is not acceptable !!!
I have asked for my contribution on opening october portraits 2015 to be deleted in sign of total disagreement.
This has to be said, read and well known by each LFF member.
