Cheese!

The second of a pair of group studies that seem to have so much going in in the image, that viewing becomes something of an immersive experience. The children are just being children, but what does the body language mean, who is friends with whom, and who is not as chummy as others? On a Leica M2 with FP4 adds to the old school feel of this image, making it timeless in a way.

Horserace Experts Ripon 1977 (Kodachrome Scan)

One of a pair of group studies that I find especially intriguing. This one is of some punters (Brit slang for bettors) at the races. Kodachrome on a Pentax Spotmatic is about as old school as you can get. I happen to love old school photography.

Every once in a while I will find a portrait I admire so much, I will sit and just stare at it. Whether it is the model, the lighting, the pose, the film, the (post) processing or some other feature that just draws me in. This is one of those images. The depth of field, the pose, the even lighting all work together to create a grand image, worth lingering over.
