My brother has been the subject of a number of my photos over the years. This one, also from 2006, has been sitting in a Workbox since then. I don’t know why I ignored it. I think it might be the best photo I’ve taken of him to date. Compare for yourself, here, here, here, here, here, here & here.

I was shooting a lot of large format B&W back in 2006. My friend Nate was teaching in Pflugerville, and he offered to pose for a photograph in his classroom. I never got him a print of the image, so this evening I scanned the negative and printed it digitally. If you take a look at my original post, I think you’ll agree I’ve learned quite a bit about contrast and shadow detail in 4 years. Of course, it helps to use a far better scanner.

I didn’t know it was about to happen. Managed to get the camera out just in time for this one shot. Congrats, Mo and Jill.
