My father, Kaena Pt., Oahu, Hawaii, February 4, 2004. Bessa R2, CV 35mm f/2.8 ‘Pancake,’ Ilford HP5 Plus.
Just submitted this over at the Mirror Project. It’s a 100% crop of a picture I took of my father in Hawaii. Needless to say that’s me reflected in his left-hand sunglass frame. That’s Naoko holding Kaika reflected in the other frame. A couple of notes to self: 1) I should have exploited more those reflector Aviator sunglasses my dad wears all the time (and I mean, all the time, out of doors or in); and 2) I need to ask my dad the next time I talk to him whether anyone ever says to him, “Hey, you know you look just like the FBI sketch of the Unabomber?”
This has a very capturing philosophical quality to it… I mean that as a compliment. For me it is more of a self-portrait, which is a reflection by definition and does not require the pretense of a “mirror” subject. The crop and grain are very appropriate.
You’re back and you’re BAD. Good job.
Hallo,
aus Deutschland über http://www.photo-blogg.de auf diese Seite gelangt. Ich finde es prima, dass Fotografen aus aller Welt ihre Bilder im Internet zur Diskussion stellen können.
Ein interessantes Doppelportrait hast Du da geschaffen.
Herzlichen Glückwunsch!!!
Greetings from good old germany
