I love the pensive mood of Dr. Missak, Doc.

More marvellous portraits :) . I am so impressed with the way that KB's and the Doc's shots capture so much of a person in a 2d representation. Something to do with the connection through the eyes.

Doc, in your first one I almost thought it was a self portrait until I scrolled down :oops:
Nex 5, Nex 6 (IR), A7M2, A99 and a bunch of lenses.

Doc, I am loving these old film portraits you've been posting! Keep them coming!

Here's another of my wife, in the shadow of the Basilica di Santa Maria del Fiore:

Kevin,
This one looks almost identical to your previous post except for a closer crop and a hint of a smile.
And I join Mark on his observations.

Perfect shot Kevin. Very beautiful.

Shot either with a Nikkormat EL or Chinon CE-II Memotron (both in either case with a 50/1.4 lens). Spring 1984.

Do I detect a very fine grain in the image Doc? The skin texture seems to be making the image come alive.

I have some portrait shots but this one is my favorite not only because this is my grandmom but it shows the traditional look of a hindu married woman with a happy look- traditional sari, part of which turn into scarf :), vermilion on forehead whcih is the symbol of married woman in hindus. This portrait has won some prizes in different contests held in India and online contests too.. i have sold many prints of this image also and those money goes to my grand mom and every time i give her the prize or money, she give me smile in the same way as in this pic :D
