Post Your Old Works

[winger]

fastw - Those are great!

Here's one of my faves from my early days. This was shot in NYC on a class trip for photo I my freshman year of college, so fall of 1986. This is a straight scan of the negative 'cause I can't find a print right now.

jnanian, who could have guessed your early work would be a departure into f.64 territory?

Here's another set nearly 40 years old, working on my Photography and Beekeeping merit badges - I was working on "Eagle" because those two badges aren't on my "Life" scorecard. So I was between 16-18 when I took these.

My first (late) wife before we were married. About 1958.

Kodachrome - like it was just yesterday.

beekeeping, i always wanted to get that, my uncle got that one ..
f64 .. yeah i still shoot a lot of things at f16.5 or 22 .. none of my lenses go to 64, so i use 3.8 or 1.7 or 2 instead
if you squint your eyes enough it sort of looks like f64

Here is an 'Interesting one' a 'Dufaycolor' additive process slide of ME when I was about 16 or 17 years old -- on my 1953 British-made Ross Ensign Selfix 16/20 Model II -- my Mum took it so it is a bit 'cut off' ---

Okay... here's the very last of what remains of my entire life's work. All else (the stuff I'm proud of) is lost. RB67, 150mm lens, probably Plus-X, approximately 1990. Just a typical wall portrait for employee of the month for one of the squadrons at Reese AFB (defunct).

Really nice execution and a lovely lady. She seems totally at ease.

 

[Old-N-Feeble]

Thank you. Yes, she was a nice friendly person and very much at ease. It took me a long time to learn how to put folks at ease in the studio. I was never really at ease with strangers myself. I've probably lost that ability now.

I've been going through my old negs scanning things that I like and putting them on Flickr for safekeeping. Here's me, around 1962, but I have "serious" stuff dating back to 1959 or so, when my brother gave me one of his old cameras as my first real camera. (There's more old stuff here, http://flickr.com/mdarnton )

I finally was able to get to some of my old prints from my undergraduate photojournalism class.
Normally, I don't put pictures with faces on the web, but the first two photos were published in a weekly Toledo paper.

Our prof coordinated with the paper and a high school the paper was doing a story on. My friends helped me pick my better photos, then the better prints of those photos. Each person in the class put 5 prints on the blackboard, and we voted on which were to be submitted to the paper.
These are not the final prints, as I never got those back from the paper. Rather, they are the penultimate prints (and I was learning to print, especially using filters). I can't quite get the scans to look like the actual prints, but rest assured, they are not great, lol.

The foil photo was from the fencing club I was in - I was not holding it. Just thought I'd throw it in.

All were taken on Ilford chromogenic film, and printed on Kodak paper.

You will find some really poorly reproduced examples here of that part of my miss-spent youth that ended up being published.

I searched the photo credits.

There were a lot more in real life than the 36 "hits" that show here: http://ubcpubs.library.ubc.ca/index...onth=12&eyear=2008&num=30&ostart=0&advanced=1

thank you matt!
greatstuff ..

 

[Bill Burk]

Great stuff MattKing!

I never got a byline in my school paper, but many of my negatives went to press.

I worked pre-press on the Cal Poly Mustang during many of my college years 1976-80.
