PORTRAITS / SELF PORTRAITS....Digital or Film

You are slowly dragging me (kicking and screaming) towards actually liking portraits that are out of focus and blurred from camera shake. Maybe it's because you are the subject of so many of them. I like this one.

Bob, you are quite a changling, your self portraits make you so much more appealing to me! :ROTFL::ROTFL:

From a session with a mate in the park trying to teach ourselves how to predict wireless ETTL.


And using the wireless ETTL in action from a wedding from this season:

Didn't you ever go to Art School Gary? ... Spam was like cash! :ROTFL:

Recycled coffee grounds and a slice of Spam ... keeps you goin' strong.

At the Center for Creative Studies in Detroit, I used to play cards with other students and either end up with the tube of paint I needed and a can of Spam (or Bounty Beef Stew) ... or go hungry and not have the paint. True story.

Rick , You will appreciate another Contax shot ... Sizifo ,YOU look abit Dangerous

Y'all probably sick of me
but whats a Ham to do...:ROTFL:
Wish I could do like Cindy Sherman ....
"What's a Ham to do?"

Funny given the Spam is Ham, and Spam's double meaning connotation.

That's a "Hat Trick" of a pun I believe.

I just noticed this thread. Cool work here. :thumbs:

A couple of self portraits and a few other portraits ...

The 3 panel one is my wife Susan, others of my pals ... the theme portrait of the 1950s quasi-innocent gal is a sample to get clients to do themed staged portraits.

The two of me need to be updated (glasses and M, yellow room in LA) ... tick tock ... my hair is greying now, but looks good with my Hasselblad H camera :LOL:

Great shots Marc. The first photo of your wife is fantastic. Is she half-Japanese? She has a very unique (and beautiful) look. She reminds me of the models I often saw when I was living in Japan. They often chose models who were half-Japanese, or Western, but with some Japanese features. I think advertisers liked them because they were Japanese (and as such, familiar), but also had a Western flair, which is popular there.
ANYWAY.
Here is a photo my dad took of me when he visited me in Iceland. It is at the parking lot for Sejalandfoss, for anyone who has been here...



And here is a 15mm portrait using my grandfather's Leica III (1934 I believe).

A couple of visiting models, I have told all the others to stay away for a while...
Lilliana, my grand daughter (the youngest), Seraphina, my daughter, and Cynthia, my understanding and tolerant wife.
This was a setup for some passport shots for my daughter, but then they started horsing around.
