0.000 HBDA handful of Vignettes for the 1st Steemit Photography Portrait Contest
<html> <p>The temperatures have cooled here in Minneapolis. I am sitting in at a cafe table as the breezes sweep through the open door nearby and wash over me. </p> <p>Some old world Beck plays through my headphones that are turned up loud, the rich vibes feel ripe this day. </p> <p>Lush.</p> <p>Digging around in Lightroom, it is a fine line between the here and the now and then. This contest has me on memory lane and that is a good thing. I have chosen to post the following images based on the fact that they have so far stayed under the radar, now today they get a shine.</p> <p>Be well.</p> <p><br></p> <p><code>Sure, I have the shot where she looks straight at me with infinity in her eyes. Doesn't matter, she is a photographer and with that Hasselblad medium format camera Crystal finds ceremony.</code></p> <p><img src="https://s20.postimg.org/knyziflvx/Portraits-2.jpg" width="1201" height="800"/></p> <p><br></p> <p><code>My take on the self portrait in a cell phone self portrait. Is it cliche? Yes, and I say grains of sand, I like this image to this day.</code></p> <p><img src="https://s20.postimg.org/d45e9gz9p/Portraits-1.jpg" width="1200" height="800"/></p> <p><br></p> <p><code>I have taken a lot of portraits of Corynn, more than anyone. Sometimes she just wasn't ready to face me head on and rather fight it I went with her. The following two portraits were shot as I waited for her. As in between these images may be, I love them.</code></p> <p><img src="https://s20.postimg.org/a8sb2lv9p/Portraits-3.jpg" width="1203" height="800"/></p> <p><img src="https://s20.postimg.org/f12mkyjd9/Portraits-7.jpg" width="1200" height="800"/></p> <p><br></p> <p><code>Corynn on 35mm b&w film. I scanned this in and forgot about. It is simple and wonderful to me. I shot as a test shot and it may actually be the best of that days lot.</code></p> <p><img src="https://s20.postimg.org/5ukbxoe4t/Portraits-8.jpg" width="1232" height="800"/></p> <p><br></p> <p><code>The portrait of a portraiter. Zoey shoots wet plates and his mobile studio is famous in my world. Here he is reflected in his ground glass while a model prepares to be documented on metal film.</code></p> <p><img src="https://s20.postimg.org/7vaviiaa5/Portraits-4.jpg" width="1200" height="800"/></p> <p><br></p> <p><code>In all the hundreds portraits and images I have of Becky, this is one where her eyes are most authentic. </code></p> <p><img src="https://s20.postimg.org/fmrlh2efh/Portraits-5.jpg" width="1200" height="800"/></p> <p><br></p> <p><code>I went with this as a fun one. Shot while Sarah limbers up for a yoga shoot. I'll also note that sometimes Sarah visits me in my dreams and when she does her left eye is often obscured. </code></p> <p><img src="https://s20.postimg.org/yqkwxer9p/Portraits-6.jpg" width="1200" height="800"/></p> <p><br></p> <p>Thanks for hanging with me.</p> <p>Since I find this fun, I may lay down one more post of entries. In any case take great care out there friends.</p> </html>
