Another powerful portrait. A thousand stories etched on that face. I really like the high key, slightly low contrast, processing here. :salute:
Lloyd, Steve: Thank you my friends.+ 1!
Hi Guys-still learning the ropes here and already posted this image in the wrong thread, so thanks to Lloyd I'm posting here as well (thanks Lloyd). This is another image made in Haiti this past March. Shot with my beloved F6 on Ilford HP5+ (at rated 400) with the 70-200 VR I (yes, I still love to shoot film, mostly because of the F6).

Thanks Very Much C! It's a 2 Way Street...!Thanks gentleman.
Steve, it's not Walden butyou're right the place put you in a Thoreau disposition. Looking closely There's even a hut in the scenery (or a symbol, depending), but it's situated a bit higher than Thoreau's.

I'm totally ignorant in the matter, but was this kind of symetrical, two-way steam locomotive common at the time? Sure looks unusual to me.One for those who appreciate my photos of 'odd' machinery...

It sure is.Thanks Very Much C! It's a 2 Way Street...!
Corlan: The muted browns and blues augmented by such fine detail in the cluster at frame left makes for a deep image - one you want to study repeatedly to find more. It's very nice. I love the soft whisp of blue at frame right, and that the whole compo leans down toward bottom rt of page... I'll bet it's absolutely spectacular huge. Well done!:thumbs:Since we're talking about macro lenses... the -barely 1:2- ZF 50 Makro in action:

Ha! How on earth did I miss this!?! Too funny. Better work on that swimming, my friend. With her heart for adventure, you never know when a skill like that may come in handy!Somewhere along the Canadian-American border....
Could you slow down and keep left please, Ayesha; I said.
Why? she said. 'cause 5 mts to your right we are in the States!
Great, said Ayesha. Another country. Doesn't look different from here!
It will if that monstrous Coast Guard raft gets hold of us on the right, I said.
Whooppee..she said. Will we be in the news Rayyan?
I will kill you, if you don't get over to your left; we shall be in the news then for sure.
Smile and wave to them....Have a nice day sir...
I am taking over, I said. But Rayyan, you are not a good swimmer!
rayyan: Here's a link. It's a pretty neat concept. I downloaded the software and I'm assembling a book of photos, just for the heck of it.Corain: what a beautiful capture. The light and the dof is superb.:thumbup:
Jason: +1 to what Steve says.
Matt: Thanks a lot Matt. Book?
Regards.
Thank you Corlan. That means a lot to me. This particular subject matter is near and dear to my heart; I was on a team of 11 that headed down to PaP mid-March to work with just a few of the half-million orphans in Haiti resulting from the quake. I guess for some preserving memories and telling stories through images means one thing. For me, it means something more. There will be more trips, more kids and more photos, but I'll never forget that first experience. I've been selective as to who I open the images up to. I've grown so weary of the bickering and one-upmanship of other corners of the web and seeking a venue that openly sharing images we make is as natural as reading a poem or singing a song one's written to be heard. Glad I was fortunate enough to stumble across this group. You guys are talented and kind - not an easy combination to find.A poignant subject, and another perfect capture, John.
As said before, love your work. Glad you found your way around in this board, looking forward to see some more and maybe hear some of the stories behind the scenes.
