portrait of writer with M4-P

[ampguy]

A few years ago I had the opportunity to take portraits of a writer, whose has some work here:

http://www.ablemuse.com/v6/bio/anna-romero

I had taken a film SLR, Pentax DSLR, and an M4-P. The films were color in the film SLR, and BW400CN in the M4P with J8 lens on M adapter on the M4P. I probably took about 100 DSLR images, and only one or two rolls with the SLR, and M4P.

After much review and a few years, the author chose one of the photos from the Leica M4P. I still have all of the images, in various states of post processing. I don't think the one selected would have been the one I would have chosen, but maybe in the top 10-20 of the total of photos taken.

M4-P is always good ... 🙂😉 Do you happen to have a photo to share ? I followed the link but there is only a short autobiography ?

Assuming that you used all three cameras competently, and given your statement that you would not have selected the photo which your subject chose, I'd say it's no more than chance that the selected picture was taken with an M4-P and Jupiter 8.

Ted, thanks !

The one she has selected is very good, it radiates an atmosphere of relaxed manner and esprit.

Hi Ted,

I remember that series, or at least a subset of that series. It's very cool that she is using one of your pictures!

Thanks Ideadog and Warren,

Yes Warren, I recall you reviewed my raw captures and gave great feedback helping me to narrow down a few OK ones out of many dozens. I learned a lot from your feedback, and am pretty sure this was one of them in our short list. I let the author and her editor pick from all of them, but I'm pretty sure they went straight to the native b/w ones, even though it was still C41 b/w.
