Re: Dad, 1943
That’s an excellent portrait—mood, composition, lighting, expression—it’s got it all. It’s a lovely photographic memory of your dad.

Re: Dad, 1943
Thanks Mark. Worked on it a bit more today bringing up the shadows just a bit and evening out the tonal transitions here and there. I’m printing 11x14s for my siblings.

Re: Dad, 1943
Paul, Thank you for sharing this photo! Very nice photo with a character coming through. What is interesting to me is that it is also rather representative of that epoch. I immediately thought that it reminded me of a famous in the former Soviet Union movie Two soldiers with a very popular Russian actor Mark Bernes. As I just verified it was produced in 1942-1943 and released in 1943. While there were views that (at least in my memory) would be even more close to the photo of your dad, here is a photo of Mark Bernes in that role (it might be even a frame from the movie) that illustrates what I am talking about: http://mtdata.ru/u1/photoD42B/20857517004-0/original.jpg It is not the facial similarities (although there are some), but the overall style.
