"AN UNEXPECTED HYGIENIC PORTRAIT"

**********************************************************************

-- “The Backstory”

-- Vinnie Scarano wanted to take some images of me working with one of the Large Format cameras.

-- The ones that I use to document the buildings in, and around New London, a project that he is working on for the magazine.

-- The model and the subject was the 4x5 and its owner,

-- The camera was really just a “prop” at this point, and it was aimed at a convenient building nearby that Vinnie and I were both more than familiar with.

-- The light was aimed toward the camera.

-- The camera and I were aimed toward the sun.

-- I hid it the best that I could behind the backlit Hygienic itself.

-- I even, unintentionally, included part of my “support” vehicle on the left side.

-- Probably the 105mm lens would have been a better choice…

-- But it really didn’t matter…

-- For that matter, up until I opened up the film holder, I wasn’t even sure there was any film in it.

-- And that really didn’t matter either…

-- So that’s the story.

-- Mostly…

"A PAMPHLET IN THE WORKINGS"

 

"LEGS-ON-LINE"

******************

-- Not all are Rockettes.

-- This image is becoming a little Pamphlet

-- Of some sort or other.

-- A cell'phone creation.

-- What to do during a pre-Covid lunch

-- The shop has now dissolved

-- And so, maybe, has some sort of Archival significance...
