[Portfolio] Old Stuff
« on: June 25, 2015, 16:29:03 »
As the title states, old stuff. I found a box of prints in my garage. Most/all were rejects or extras, most of the stuff was probably published. When you make wet prints you go through a lot of paper getting it right. This was a box of those "trying to get it right". Usually, I saved my rejects and passed them on to a high school photo teacher who would use them as teaching aids. This box never made it out to my old high school.

I'll add a photo a day until you peoples get bored, I get bored or I run out of inventory.

I like the "look" in those eyes. There is a telling atmosphere in this picture.

Subtle but dark and sinister. There's a hint of a story there.

Gary: Your posts and some recent re-currents by Bjørn let me think of posting some scanned memories or even scan some new from my archives. It was so bad then the quality of 24x36 qmm.

But of course technical quality only leads us to unknown details in the world around us like all the gripping and griping and grabbing I saw today in bee's "hands".

The expression in a good portrait of the film age (I started off in 1983 and I am still proud of some shots I took on my very first roll of film) is the same as we see in today's portraits. Only difference is that we can today take proper technique out in the field and current tools of course and create a shot that earlier in life would have needed 4"x5" or at least 6x7 qcm.

I am getting 49 next month, you have seen the world a few years longer, have you?

Very good concept to review our work with the distance of some years. A lot of shots fall to the sides, but some make center stage later.

Thank You for inspiring.

The look of a modern slave. Frightening for mankind.

I know, I'm pushing too far.

Great picture, raising this thought.

Do post Frank. Photography is all about communications. What we see and understand changes over time.

Not at all. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I am happy ... make that thrilled, that this image garnered up such thoughts beyond despair.

Great captures Gary - that first image speaks volumes to those who want to use a bit of imagination.
