Response to Studio Update

from Chris Yeager (cyeager@ix.netcom.com)
josh- always good to hear from you- I have a Rolleiflex- the lens is just too damn short- the people you mentioned used them for full length or "environmental" stuff- I could not get this close and this big with a TLR without the nose sticking way out.... If I backed off with the Rollei then my subject occupies a space on the film well inside a 35 mm frame so why not use 35mm? I think you know what I mean.. this is done with a 14" ektar- 'bout like a 100mm in 35, so I can get back enough to get good perspective.... Lighting is still a challenge- this scan doesn't look like the print of course, (looks a little dark) but it shows the detail i want-

thanks for the comments- anything to post lately?
