Rather an ambitious little project.

Any man who can see what he wants to get on film will usually find some way to get it;
and a man who thinks his equipment is going to see for him is not going to get much of anything.

Ambitious and very cool. Local silver and Inca Cola! Makes the process even better. Love the results.

This quote spoke to me: "It's not pretentious to say these portraits are deeper and more revealing. You can't sustain any vain or superficial expression for 10 seconds, you can't conceal yourself behind a mask”
