New Portrait Thread - September 08

[Joel Brown]

I just returned from my annual family reunion at Lake Tahoe. I was hoping to burn all my 8x10 film and reload my 12 film holders using my film changing tent. As it turned out with over 20 relatives attending I was able to photograph 3 kids, and then only for a 1/2 hour. When the light was right, it was dinner time, lunch time, or everyone was out on a boat. Oh, and I think our cabin's name was Star.

Michael T, by no means am I a professional, and also not a pro. My income from photography has so far been nil. Zero. Exactly.

It's only my pastime, to vent the stress of every day. And today I would need a lot of it. Have had a car accident (noone hurt, only the metalworks), some bloke phoning while driving and not paying enough attention run into me, while I was giving way to pedestrians having green light on the zebra. Fortunately noone was hurt. Yeah, I need to vent my stress today with photography (and I'll be away from my cameras until weekend...).

Sorry for the rant, I just came home, and it's already dark here.

Sorry to hear about the car wreck!
Quebec has outlawed driving and using a mobile fone.
98.5 percent of the population seem to be able to "walk and talk" (an expression for doing two things at once) at the same time but the other 1.5 just keep smashing up everyone around them.

Reminds me very much of a few Jock Sturges images. Although, your subjects are wearing clothing. Interesting twist.
