I found the image on the left in a dusty bin at an antique shop somewhere along the small strip of Pacific coast that makes up town of Gualala.  Mila, the little girl on the right, had been a photo student of mine in a kid's holga class.  I thought of her the second I saw the old photo, and new I had to recreate the image.  I shot a few rolls of medium format film with the hasselblad and this was one of my favorite shots from the sitting. 

Proof sheet and 11 x 14 photograph from a recent sitting.  Medium format film shot with my hasselblad. 

Headshots are a lot of fun!  I love to use lots of props to highlight the serious or silly side of a personality.  This is a self portrait I shot last week at the tail end of a battle with bronchitis.  The doctor gave me three things on my visit to his office.  A shot in the arm (ouch!), a prescription for antibiotics (thankfully!), and this red lollipop.  Here is to staying healthy for the rest of the year!
