Quoting Walt <[email protected]>:

Here's another portrait from down at the ol' salt mine -- a man named Mark. He's about as nice and polite a man as you could ever hope to meet.

We nearly lost him about a year and a half ago in a car accident. He spent a good amount of time at Vanderbilt University Hospital undergoing surgeries before going through about three months of physical therapy. He's fortunate in a lot of ways -- from being alive at all to having all his limbs.

I'm not altogether pleased with the exposure or sharpness, and will probably return to the shot at some point in the future for further processing. But, I rarely see Mark these days, so I wanted to be sure to get at least one shot of him.


You're being too hard on yourself. That's a great portrait of a face that's seen a lot of life.

Perhaps I'd do a little editing to remove or darken the background highlights

Thank you, Brian.

I was originally inclined to do what you suggested, but wondered if I might need something to break up the negative space a bit. Thanks for the pointer!
