Hi Larry, thanks very much. Yes my son is one of the best things ever happened to me in my life.
The signature is very easy to do in PS. Scan your signature and use it as a layer. A very soft drop shadow helps define it agains a busy background.

I love the sepia tones and the backlight that makes his head glow.

Again, I thought "medium format ?" when I opened it. Great portrait, lighting, tones, and use of DOF are superb. Square format is surely the right choice, for his posture. Let me ask a tech question: do you scan the negative or make a print and scan the print then ?

thanks very much Casten. I scan the negative and do everything digital from there. I enjoyed darkroom work many years ago, but today I prefer PS. I neither have the space nor time to deal with an enlarger and chemicals. It wouldn't give me even 20% of the posibilities of PS anyway.

I don't think it gets any better on this one, David. The light, the composition, quality, mood. All good. Oh, a Bronica! No wonder. Now I want one, lol. I also like what you said in your profile, that photography is a passion. I knew I wanted a camera since I was 7, and I coveted my dad's Kodak Instamatic. Lovely work, especially your b&w's.

thanks very much Mark. I did so many thing in my live and started so many things and dropped them again. Photography is the only thing I keep on doing since I got my first camera and always enjoyed it all those years. My job is very related to it. Maybe it is good I never made it my full time job. Not sure if I would enjoy it as much if I had to do someone else's vision.

I did it professionally for two years and it was difficult. You're right, photographing for someone else's vision is stifling to say the least.
