Lovely. The Citizen and The State. Not for the first time, in this series, the contrast of scales is working for you.
How have you been finding the Hasselblad for this kind of work? I don’t imagine it’s easy to use quickly, spontaneously. Sometimes (if you aren’t using a camera support) you must miss having a spare hand?
It’s been a challenge. Of course, the other images of Joe I shot (at his home) are all 4×5 with ISO 25 film (Efke 25, to be precise) so this was VERY spontaneous in contrast. Still, it’s been enough of a challenge that I was pretty much forced to use the meter in the prism I was using.
