Darrel Wood

this is the portrait that i took today for the assignment on older people that i spoke a little about yesterday.

the print is less contrasty than the online version looks..i didn't have a chance to scan in the neg so this is the best i could do. i'm very happy with the tonality on his face and i can live with the shirt being blown waay out.

and questions and comments would be appreciated.
