My #Dad, aged 27, at #RefugeeCamp in #Indonesia - 1979. Photo was taken by humanitarian aid workers to help #VietnamWar#refugees get sponsored to go to Europe, Canada, USA & Australia, under asylum.
My Dad passed away June 9, 2023.
He went through hell & back, several times. He beat almost all odds. Until #covid infection in hospital in 2022. #LongCovid killed him last year.
A portrait of my stylish, adventurous and outspoken friend @msquebanh that I just finished. Full piece is square. This is a narrow crop.
I love painting strong women. They inspire me. I love how this turned out.
9.8"/25cm sq. oil on board
Bees (that are not our bees) took over the shed. My daughter (a beekeeper) had to remove them. As she was working, a small child passing on a trike looked terrified and shouted 'Bee Men!'.
Voilà, pour celles et ceux qui connaissent, la fille au vieux parka, enfin un vrai portrait d'elle.
Lors de la prise de la photo utilisée elle avait 26 ans, c'était le printemps.
Je publie avec son consentement préalable mais elle ne verra l'image que demain, c'est une surprise pour elle et A.

I'm looking for #photography accounts to encourage my friend to join the fediverse, especially #portrait#photographer and artistic #nude / " #eroticArt" as the US defines it, so anything from actual porn to anything with female nipples in it, lol.
A while ago, suffering from PND, I started a project to try and coax myself out of what was utter isolation.
I asked women to pose for portraits without the makeup they would normally wear. It was interesting, some women turned up with no makeup, but some attended still with mascara, or their eyebrows done etc.
I called it 'As Others See Us' which is from the Scottish Poet Robert Burns...
“O, wad some Power the giftie gie us
To see oursels as others see us!'
Die Zeichnung ist dann doch noch ganz gut geworden. Ich konnte es mir aber natürlich nicht nehmen lassen, sie gleich wieder komplett zu verwursten. #Arno Schmidt #Zeichnung#Portrait#DasSteinerneHerz
#art#history:
that old quandary - nature or nurture - has been rankling the human race for as long as we've existed...or from the second generation, at least. if you think you've fixed your ideas on the subject, you may not be familiar with the mitford sisters.
buckle up for this thread about the hellaciously good mitford sister, decca. [a hefty thread] #deccaMitford#jessicaMitford#illustration#portrait#author#activist#communism#muckraker#journalist
My wife and I tested our new old camera from 1954 that produces square images on a 35 mm film, so on a roll of 36 you can squeeze in over 50 images! (We used the cheapest color film available) 📸
Image of the day is Introspection, an in-camera double exposure on film.
Back in the late fall, Louka and I worked on a Photosynthesis session that had a good number of successful "leaf" images. These are probably my favourite leaf images since I started doing them. It's still a fraught process, with frequent failures as I struggle to balance the exposures of the leaf and the model. But I'll be back at it, now that it's the spring and there are leaves to work with again.
