this is a very good friend of mine »
link who needed a portrait of himself for a publication. so he asked me :-)
he came around with his light in the evening and we had a lot of fun till late in the night. famous sentence was "didn't you have also this other camera?"
the curtain shutter of my old graflex is not strong enough anymore to fire up well at longer times, especially if held vertical. so i said, ok, wait, i grab my biggest...
i really love this painting effect, the film gave in combination with the light and that decent congo lens focussed a bit behind his face.
after this one, we stopped.
