Apparition At A Dinner Party

[Brian Moore]

Olympus XA3 and Kodak Tri-X 400 that I souped in Rodinal. Tumblerpod for steadiness.

Some people never sit still when you want them to eh? A very good shot. I see that you did not bring Helga. Almost digitalized right?

I don't take Helga everywhere you know, Ivar. She is not the boss of me! Anyway, at least the apparition sat still. Thank you Ivar.

Ha, that's hilarious. Poor guy, he does look creepy. Makes a great image, Brian. Is it Christopher Walken?

No, not Christopher Walken Rob, though I am a big fan of his. It was actually the father of our host for the evening. It was a wee bit sad actually; he is normally a chatty and gregarious old chap, but on this particular evening he was definitely out of sorts. Hi mood and demeanor on the evening came through in the fotie. Thanks Rob. Appreciated!

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Poor guy. I hope he recovers.

Thanks Rob. He's fine; I took that shot about six or seven months ago and he's still around and back to his old self.

Brilliant! I really like the contrast between he blurred figures and the 'Apparition'. Did he use to work as a butler for a rather unusual family by any chance?

 

[Pete Askew]

Love numbers 1 and 12 on your site too. And the portrait in number 20.

 

[Julian de'Courcy]

The lone ranger is scary but feel for anyone under the weather. A good shot Brian

He does look a little like Lurch now that you mention it, Pete.

Thanks Pete. I think #20 is the young lady looking straight into the camera from across the table...? She is a very fine artist that young lady; Her mother (the person to her right) works with my wife. A few months ago we attended an exhibition of her art at USC.
