Portrait of Todd

2003. We were assigned to do a portrait in my old photography class and I tried a couple on my old Nikon 35mm.

This is my old roommate Todd. I remember shooting a few roles of film in a couple separate locations and only getting 2 “good” pictures.

When you can’t instantly view the shot, you could have had everything in perfect focus and the perfect settings and still miss your shot due to “camera shake” or messing up the horizon lines, or one of a hundred little things, you won’t know until you get into the dark room.

This one at least turned out.

I remember it being January when we did this and there was snow on the ground. Todd was most likely freezing cold.

You can tell.

We most likely shot this between games of NBA LIVE or NHL Hitz.

Life of college seniors…
