Introduction and B&W

[nelsonfoto]

Hello to all. Craig Nelson here of nelsonfoto forums. Randy invited me to finally get my butt over here and join. Not sure how often I'll be able to contribute, but I thought I'd drop a shot or two in the pot.

About me: An avid street and PJ photographer, also interested in straight portraiture. Shooting Nikon film and digital (F4s, D70s) and Mamiya MF gear (C330s, RB67). Below, shots from my Kiev 4AM, Nikon F4s, Mamiya RB67, and C330s.

Best,
Craig

Welcome Craig (nelsonfoto). Glad Randy persuaded you to join us.

Thanks for posting the pictures. They're great. I love 'people' pictures, especially off the cuff ones.

Craig N, great shots! Nice to see you here and btw thanks for selling me the Vivitar 90mm macro. I'm looking forward to using it.

Welcome my friend

It's good to see you here Craig. I think you'll find a lot of us here who are also regulars on nelsonfoto.

I like the second picture of mother & daughter. It's really smooth in tone. I also like - for some strange reason that I can't explain - number 4. I twitch just thinking of how it must have felt to have the tatoo needle being used on my armpit.

Craig...finally we meet, thanks for joining! #4 makes me cringe also.

Thanks, folks.

Shot of the woman with girl: Friend of the mother, not the mother herself. Clarification.

Craig N, these are strong, compelling photos. Love the DOF in them.
