cool kerik. like the shallow DOF. very clean and very nice.

Nice portrait Kerik......

Very good portrait. Excellent use of DOF.

Really enjoy your work.
I'm starting to use Rollo Pyro and would love to know what films you like to use or if it matters that much.

A very striking portrait, Kerik. WOW!

Striking. I keep coming back to it.

Beautiful. Would love to see the print.

Thanks for all the comments. In the interest of full disclosure, this is a scan of the neg, not the print. I had both scans on my computer, and selected the wrong one when I uploaded it. Also, this is cropped from the original 14x17. This image is probably about 12x15, maybe a little less.

As far as Rollo Pyro, I use it with FP4, HP5 and Forte films. Realize that my film choices for 14x17 are pretty limited. Also, after being a PMK and Rollo user for 10+ years, I'm about to switch to Pyrocat HD.

I would be bereft as a student if I didn't ask why you were changing. Why are you changing?

So we have a model Kerik? The eyes are stunning - very natural and relaxed.
