Another rainy day

Posted byPaul W. DorrPosted inUncategorized

Up early, and out for a walk before the wind, and rain began. Culled through some old negatives , and came across this one from many years ago.

This was shot using a Mamiya RB67. A true brick of a camera. This is one of my favorite negatives to work with, and one of my favorite portraits. Wish I was shooting wet plate when I had this young man sitting for me. The wet plate colloidion process renders freckles beautifully.

This portrait was a huge motivator for one of my long bicycle trips in which I set out with the goal of taking a portrait a day, and I look forward to doing another trip in the future.

A New York based photographer who still shoots film. Born, and raised in New England, and living the last thirty years in midcoast Maine, I took a job as Shipkeeper aboard the Wavertree at South Street Seaport Museum in the Winter of 2016/17. On my off days I find myself exploring the City with a camera at hand. At the moment I am shooting with a Mamiya RB67, but recently acquired an 8x10 Kodak Master View, with the hopes of doing some wet plate portrait work.
