Here's my new book/portfolio, free d/l

If anyone's interested, here's my new "book," Fifty Pictures. I was gonna make it a blurb book but decided to just make it available free as a download, since this is how I seem to look at most photos these days. I may make a book just for myself.

Enjoy! These are almost all RF pictures, some film, some digital.

Excellent work!

Took a look at your work and you have some stellar images there. Thanks for sharing and making it a free download. I'll bookmark it and go in again. Congratulations on your hard work.

Right now, your "Arcade" photo (page 50) is my favorite.

thanks for sharing your online book, very cool.I like the way you put together the color and BW fotos, that can be tricky to do, but you have a consistent shooting style that ties them together well, "bound" by your editing, which is another challenge in itself.
I would be curious about your workflow,
eg, a brief summary from equipment used to processing, software/editing tools, websites, etc, .... please let us know, I would like to create something similar in the future, as I'm sure others on RFF would as well.

Hey, thanks a lot, you guys!

These photos are culled from two years of semi-random shooting. I was trying to evoke...something. I'm not sure. A kind of openness to interpretation. Something a bit enigmatic but still kind of aesthetically confident maybe? I had other photos I liked (some better than some here) that didn't fit...but these seems the most consistent "body of work" I've done in the past two and a half years.

Everything goes through Lightroom. Most (not all) of the B&W was taken with the M2 or M7, there's some M8 here too but that is more a recent acquisition. One of them is a cheap point and shoot shot, and there are some micro 4/3 and SLR pictures here, but by and large these are rangefinder pictures. Film shots were mostly scanned with the Nikon 8000ED. Commonest lenses are probably ZM28 Biogon and adapted CZ Sonnar 50/1.5.

I tend to process lightly. I like more contrast than some people. If you're seeing any consistency here, though, it's in the subject matter, aesthetic, and editing...the gear is important to me, but probably wouldn't matter so much to other people.

Thank you, going to see now.

Thanks for sharing, I found the way you put it together to be interesting. My favorite is probably the monitor and stool in the shop window on page 28, but I liked the Arcade shot on page 50 as well.

That Arcade sign has now been "renovated" and painted over...I'm glad I caught it!
