Photo Challenge: People
Post your portraits!
Use your lover, neighbors, co-workers or total strangers as subjects. The challenge is purposefully open-ended so that everyone can contribute. It doesn't matter what sort of camera you use or the extent of your technical skill - just attempt to tell a story and post your results. It could be a story about someone's beauty, the way they make you feel, their process or completion of a task, someone hamming it up or their complete obliviousness to the camera. It can even be a self-portrait. The main goal is to keep the images evocative and get shooting. http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3157/...afff796b49.jpg (keep the images recent and as always, 18+) |

Hilarious way to kick it off noodle!!
Great shots as always mm. I especially loved the shot of Jesus at the railroad crossing and your shots of people in profile and from behind. http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3158/...1273ee05_b.jpg Perfectly framed and very evocative. |
Great shots everyone... I really need to find time to take more photos.
|

This person moved out of my house last weekend. Even though she wasn't home much of the time anyway, looking at this photo this morning still makes me feel sad. Or maybe I'm just feeling sad anyway and I love her. I remember the day I took this picture...we had fun. It captures everything I love about this girl.

I really like this photo, ring. Nice.
|
yes, thank you.
I often think about, Pace...(pronounced, pahchay.) He was a brilliant talkative restless entity. I chatted with him, while traveling from San Diego, to some small train station in Colorado, where i remember seeing, 'Dean Moriarty', spray painted on concrete. |

The house was a little messy, but I was fucking around with Windows Live Photo Gallery the other day and wanted to make a panoramic photo. I couldn't get it to work the way I wanted it to, but either way...
The other one is from my birthday a couple weeks ago. |
It's good to see you, Nick. Good job scoring twins.

A friend of mine bought the old Reno firehouse for developing into condos and commercial units. I showed up with a medium format camera. She asked me to get some candid shots. There was a girl there that was strikingly beautiful. I asked her to pose in the stairwell where the natural light was awsome. We have no idea who this girl is but it's some of the best portraiture I've ever done:

I took these portraits on August 28, using my beloved 80mm. The face is someone known to long-time TFP folks (aka mixedmedia). She's my favorite subject, best friend, lover, and pardon if I state the obvious: a beautiful model. I think I especially captured her genuine personality, wit, intellect, and sweetness in these two:

Wow, those are stunning. Brilliant captures, whitesportscar.

My mother:

I love that portrait of your mother. I see a lot of you in her.
|
Thank you.

My good friend who lives in the apt. right next to mine. He's 90 something years old.
We have a mutual crush thing going on. I clean and bandage his skin-tears that have been happening more often, lately. He was arriving home from a fourth of july parade this day. He served as a combat medic during world war two. He isn't comfortable talking about his experiences there. He has the most beautiful eyes. I would like to take more pictures of him, but he's quite shy, so I won't push it. http://i253.photobucket.com/albums/h...y/DSC_1054.jpg |
since I can post kid pictures now...these go along with the Obama rally set up there:

I'm liking all these people. MM, I like the crowd shots.

dlish, the Two Yemeni boys in Shibam is just really great photography work, like National Geographic work. That photo tells all kinds of stories, but the expressions are the most telling.

She didn't want to be photographed (but she did want to be photographed), so it turned into a game of shutterbug chase. There were no clouds that day and this was shot in hard shadows, using manual focus with a 50mm lens. Taken Sept 6, 2009 in Ft Myers, FL
