I think Jan 2016 was the first month in a while that I did not post in the portrait thread. I have returned! Over the extended long weekend, I took 13 sheets of 4x5, 3 rolls of 120 color, and 6 rolls of 120 B&W. As mentioned in the "Moment of Zen.." post, I accidentally ruined the B&W, but the colors look great! (Emotional roller-coaster here).
Here's the first portrait that pops out for me. Part of the Transformations:Cosplay project - costumers in and out of their costumes, on 4x5 large format film.

Very nice and sweet portrait David Aimone.
I've been playing with the Rockland Colloid dry tintype materials, and I think I'm finally getting an idea of how to use it. It's a bit finicky - and man, does the developer deplete quickly - but I'm starting to enjoy it. This was one of two plates from yesterday. Definitely underexposed (I bumped the mid tones a tiny bit in Photoshop, though this is fairly accurate in the highlights and shadows), though I'm getting a much better handle how to meter for it.
This was in a Toyo 45D with a Fuji 150 5.6 wide open for 1sec illuminated by 3,000 watts (equivalent) of compact fluorescents in a dark studio. The lights were about 18 inches from the model.

I am subjected to a single thing, the freedom
I love the 1930's WPA dustbowl style clothes and building for this!

Peter, lovely portrait. It immediately made me think of Emmet Gowin and his portraits of his wife, Edith, and his daughter.
Thank you, Gentlemen.
Mkillmer, that's a terrific self-portrait!
Alex, that's intense!
