"Lisa" 8/2007

10x8" Tintype, wet plate collodion process
Exposure
20ish seconds
I am rapidly becoming a fan, David. The presence in her eyes is very real. I think why I like these photographs so much is because they look much like the human vision works, with the ability to focus only on a very narrow spot at a time, without much depth. She looks incredibly peaceful.
Wonderful wonderful work.

That's a hypnotic gaze. With those eyes, I'd do anything she asked.
I enjoy you're prolific output with the quality matching the quantity. What'd you do Prifti, get a new scanner?
 
This, to me, is a wonderful portrait. Simply a head and shoulders, but, because of the focus on the eyes and the extremely shallow dof, she is seperated from reality. I feel that I can see right in to her soul. It makes me feel that I know her, that she is approachable. Her eyes beckon me. I want to sit and talk to her, to find out what her eyes are trying to tell me.

I will never know what feeling you were trying to portray when you pressed the shutter, but to me you have created a hauntingly beautiful image that I find very moving and very thought provoking.

Thanks for sharing

The shallow DOF is just superb - the eyes are really arresting.

Wonderful image all round.
