Luis Mendes, a New York City street photographer for over 50 years, with his historic Speed Graphic camera.
Discussion
Tryin to start a discussion here for fun. Does anyone have random photos that maybe aren't that great in and of themselves, but are just attempts at trying new things or something? Or maybe you have cabin fever this winter and are stuck inside taking random photos. I was up at my church with my camera and just tried some stuff, just for practice, not for anything too serious. I came up with this, among others. Maybe I'm just weird! Haha
This is a wonderful portrait!
Thank you. He was on the cruise around Manhattan during Optic2019, the conference by B&H and Lindblad. I often see him outside B&H when I'm in the city. I took his picture, and he took mine with his Speed Graphic. He prints it on a small portable printer and puts it in a cardboard frame with his signature and date.
