Re: Peso: Outake
Hi! I did a group picture of a family I have known for about 30 years last night. Roy is one of the people who more or less mentored me into making quality pictures. We would go out and shoot the same locations with each other, sometimes shooting every day for weeks on end, then dissapearing into the darkroom for several hours and later meeting for coffee and comparing contact sheets and work prints. He got me involved in bothe medium format and large format cameras, and in fact, my BJ view camera came from him, as did the 4x5 enlarger I had been using up until I shut my darkroom down three years ago. Quickie grayscale conversion then some levels adjusting was done. Meet Roy. http://users.accesscomm.ca/wrobb/pictures/portraits/b_w9902.html I can easily imagine him pronouncing in Qui Gon kind of voice - Be mindful of the light, my young apprentice... You did it excellently, Bill. Boris

This looks to me like a portrait that could only be taken of someone that you know well, and have known for a long time. Excellent work. -Mat On 11/20/05, William Robb [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I did a group picture of a family I have known for about 30 years last night.

RE: Peso: Outake
I like it. I more than like it, it is a wonderful photo. What really makes this work for me is the eyes. I knowing he is a photographer, makes me look him directly in the eyes, and he looks strait back behind his specs, no fuzz.

RE: Peso: Outake
Nice portrait, Bill ... a little work on the tonalities and balance and you'll have a real winner here. This one can really shine with something more than a quickie greyscale conversion. One of the nicest and most engaging pics you've put up in a long time. A great strength of the photo is that it clearly shows the strength of your relationships.
