Description
"the photographer will loosely prepare..." these friggin' descriptions just floor me!i'm not a boob guy.
that said ... once i was able to stop fumbling with my equipment (read: cameras) and focus on salmas face ...
well ...
honestly, they are large. like really fucking large.
'twas hard to focus on her face.
but ... her face is so lovely.
so is she.
we were backstage with robert towne who was showing his movie -- a movie that i can't remember the name -- and i asked her if may make some photographs in b/w.
she was totally into it.
so ... once i got past her obvious attributes ...
i made a few.
that's what's so nice about leica glass ... you really don't need a lot of light to make something interesting.
not only that ... but ... i didn't want a typical photo of her.
she was on a couch in the green room ... i backed up enough for a higher than normal position ...
and made this one.
leica mp. leica apo 75/2.0 summicron aspherical. 1/60th at f/2.0. ilford delta 400 (plus 2 at 1600) for some lovely grain.
this is a scan ... you should see the fibre print ... my God.

theres something about this thats so intimate. intimate in the sense that you can see an obvious connection between you and her. thats something so rare in the world, photos of celebrities which dont come off as stolen or contrived. well done as always.

hmm salma without boobs... temptation, temptation... i guess you're on of the few that only took portraits of her. the rest of em must've taken whole body shots, stared at the prints, then cropped only the face and submit it.

Salma is one of the few American actors today that I truely do consider beautiful. And yes, I am a boob guy.
Awesome shot, and as usual, the focusing rocks. Good work, man.

Cool. Which negatives? You have everything catalogued or just what's here? If they are elsewhere, shoot me a link and I'll get back to you when I'm back in town.
I appreciate it buddy.

if you see something in the dA selects, let me know. those are all cross-indexed. just send me links.
there is other material as well...
but, yes, all of my stock is categorized, archived, referenced in a database, etc., etc.
going to the lab soon, so ... let me know!

And can you change the film in them?

cweeks In reply to NoodleIncident [2006-02-17 21:57:07 +0000 UTC]
