Ed, those are really beautiful shots. I have no idea how each subject feels about their own "close-ups," but speaking as one who is the subject of none of them--you really have a fantastic eye for lighting and character. A great looking bunch of folks, whose "experience and character lines" really enhance the portraits. Quit your day job, hop in your Vanagon, and bring us some more!

Delhi Dog, Ed took one of me , but i asked him not to post it. With all those above stats, Ed didn't mention.....
That he took the pictures on Sunday morning.. no grooming and after many days of dirt camping and late nights.
Plus...His camera was about arms length away..... it was not easy for me.

I usually do a fast scan at 1000 dpi to see if the image is worth more work.
for the Web 400x600 is sufficient (that's what those are), in fact, there are lots of images that look fine in that resolution that just don't blow up...
when I print, I go to 4000 dpi, and usually 8 to 16 passes, then I can usually print to 12"x18"
anything larger and I go to my photofinisher who will scan at 8000 dpi (if I push him) where some photos blow up to 24"x36" (at 300 dpi on the print)

Jaybro's right, not "natural light" but "available light"
Mike was shot in his front room at 6am (?) as he was going out the door to a date in Maple Canyon with his project... which he did, indeed, send... under incandescent (I think? Mike?) light.
as I said before, inspirational!

"incandescent", but I think the shine in his eyes is from the morning light coming in the east facing window... though he kinda always has that...even at night.

I had been working on moving a lot of content off of STForum when my original web hosting site was closed down by Comcast/Xfinity...
these portraits, and others can be viewed at:

I should retire and get to work again... B&W film has some interesting features that make the work of producing them quite rewarding.
