This shoot was primarily done with an M3 and 50 Summicron. But I also took along the Fuji X100 to see how it would work. Not an ideal portrait camera. But not awful, either.

This is Tri-X, with Rodinal 1-100 stand developing. Really just experimenting with it (and some Ilford FP4) because it's what I have on hand right now as I spend a bit of time with film.
I picked Rodinal just because of its long life and ease of using it in stand processing.
I know the grain is pretty pronounced and may not appeal to all. After spending the past few years exclusively in digital, I sort of enjoy the grain. If I keep with it, I'm sure I'll try some other combos as well.

Thanks. I wish I did too. But when I had both the summicron and the planar, I thought the planar was better. So i sold the cron. Maybe I just had a bad copy. Perhaps I'll try again some day.....

nah. it's a Les Baer 1911.

I started with actresses (and some actors) from the local theater and burlesque scenes. Then I joined Model Mayhem, which is a great place to meet women (or men) interested in modeling, makeup, etc.
The more of them that I work with, the easier it is to find others. I also find them through Facebook. Many of my subjects are friends of other people I've shot.
