Topic: Your family Portraits

[calbisu]

Well I am sure I am not the only one that has punished his/her family with a Family Portrait  If you have done so just show!

Two family portraits with Polaroid 664 and Polaroid 59, around 4 years difference between the two shots. The B&W one was one of my first Polaroid shots.

Carlos,
you have a lovely family!
I'll be posing my family over the Christmas holidays this year as I'm going home to Texas for the occasion.
I have a brand new great-niece, so there will be many baby pictures made!

I'm actually building a pinhole camera now to take with me to document the trip!

So stay tuned for a Schultz-Ramotowski roundup in a few months!

oooh no... you're not.... we're all guilty, just a bit shy probably  .... the most recent I have was on the latest Christmas/New year thread when i decided to humiliate them (and myself)

Now that's what you call a family portrait, Salvo...!! Calbisu's is another tour-de-force.

Wish I could join in but what few family shots I had "disappeared" when my ex and I parted company. Also my parents are not around anymore to humiliate photograph......

My family's huge but most of them live in other parts of the country.  Here are some shots of smaller groupings from last summer and this summer:

My wife and younger son, shot for Six-20 Camera Day 2011, shot with a Six-20 Brownie Model D and flashbulbs (2 pics):



My grandson and his parents, 2012, Brownie Hawkeye with No. 13 Close-up Attachment:


My boys, age 26 and 9, 2012, Brownie Flash II with flash bulbs:

Thanks, Carlos, for creating this thread!  I love the strainer-hats pic!  Excellent and very clever.

Such a wonderful family to participate in the hat strainer series! Hahahah!
And Carlos, I just love the little boy's expression front and center in the 1st photo!!!

Oook, I am relieved, I am not the only one    Salvo, you really punished your family, grrrreat portraits, I will think about it myself.

Becky, I will be waiting for your family portrait

Salvo, that series of strainer portraits is a great idea! I may have to use it as inspiration over the holidays.

I had the opportunity to take some photos at a family reunion this summer and I'm only beginning to get them all sorted. Here's one I took of some of the kids that were in attendance.

Hah! Salvo, I think I remember those pictures. Great idea

[Photo_Utopia]

I'd post my family but can't find a mailbox big enough....

In all seriousness I rarely take images of family groups here's one from a couple of years ago taken on Ektar with a old folder.



My wife far right, brother far left assorted kids and brothers wife centre.
Hey just realised I'm never in any family groups, in fact there are no images of me in my collection-silly boy always has a camera plastered to his face

Edit: Salvo your series is genius, I'd try it but I fear the relations are already strained at Christmas...

great idea for a thread !  Mine: a hodgepodge of instant 4x5 films - missing one of the kids - but there are so many shots to choose from !!
