Sounds like you might have been in the business? ;)

Just a little:rolleyes:. That kind of high quality imagery is still sought after, be it film, or digital.
Film has the edge yet for classical rendering as shown in the portrait above.
I still think highly of some aspects of B&W imagery, and have favorite film yet.

-D.S.

I played just a wee bit myself. Shot a couple weddings as well as talent for an agency using a Bronica SQA with backup Canon EOS system. Had some studio lighting equipment as well.
I did like shooting B&W film.
On my way up I experienced a medical disaster so crashed and burned.
A lot of things I no longer do. :rolleyes:

Small world, ain't it?
I invested in a used Sq-A around 80' or so, with the normal and portrait length lenses. The only extravagance I got it for it was a factory new speed-grip.
That system paid for it's self after about the 8th wedding I did with it. Never went with the prism finder, mostly as a matter of finances. The WLF and it's beauty of a magnifier were enough for me and my far-sighted eyes. TBH, wasn't making enough to earn a proper living. Selling that Sq-A was one my bigger heart breaks. Landed with both feet on the ground in property management where my organizational skills led to an interesting career. Never did get wealthy, but ended up with an almost comfortable retirement.
Just as an aside, Kodak and Ilford now have C-41 based monochrome film out that is actually quite decent. I did keep most of the nikon stuff- the important stuff that matters. The old F2 is a potent combination with modern film.

-D.S.

I had both the WLF and prism finder with mine along with the speed grip. Like you, I had the normal 80 mm lens along with the 150mm for portrait. Both were the PS lenses, and I had three backs in 6x6 and one in 645. I ended up selling that kit to a young lady that was studying photography in Reno via ebay.
According to her feedback left for me she was extremely happy with it.
I never met her in person but I wonder how she did?

Huh, interesting. 16"/349 Dahon, the model of which I forget. The handlepost is the earlier chrome-moly steel version, which I have not seen in an adjustable height version, which it shows. And the seatpost shows a reinforcement just above the seat tube that I have not seen before. However I don't know the model well, so perhaps both were standard and common.

Is there really a bike in this picture? :twitchy:

;)

I'm wondering if there's a version where the saddle is visible.
Purely for technical reasons obviously.

Booo! :D

I wore Ace's Spaceman makeup in the 4th grade at my first concert (Kiss), just like Tommy Thayer does in the photo.

Whoa, so that isn't Ace in the photo... :foo:

Yeah, this is late model KISS.

If you look carefully under her legs you might see it. ;)

Here's a slightly larger version

Still can't see the saddle though.

They'll name-check the dress and wristwatch, but not the bike. I guess not paid for that, and thus decals removed from the bike.
