My Three Boys (15 yrs old)
Luffenholtz Beach, CA

Scanned 11x14 contact print. I believe the paper is Luminos Classic Charcoal R paper, selenium toned.

270mm lens
FP4+
About a two-second exposure (lens cap as shutter) -- Boys' heads are not too sharp due to longish exposure.

This is great, Frank. Her shadow in the dish really adds to the dynamic.

Please excuse my editing, I hope you don't mind. A little cropping changes the environment and gives it more of an action-oriented, sci-fi look.

Hi Al, thanks... the future is all around us! This is a pumping station by Niagara Falls (old shot).

Platinum portrait, 5X7 Foma, old 1870 lens, developed in Pyro. This is Becki, she's a single mom, and a great tatoo artist. I shot a total of 6 sheets of film, this is the first P/P, more to come.

Hi Al, thanks... the future is all around us! This is a pumping station by Niagara Falls (old shot).

How old, 1925? This shot might have looked futuristic in the 20s, but now it looks like........the 20s. Very nice, all the same.
