Very expressive shots, Peter. The last one is my favorite. Must have been an interesting story... good luck to him.

You know, Peter, I was just yesterday thinking of some of the people that frequented STF and you were one of them!

So nice to see you're still at it.....entertaining us all.

Cheers!

Man, I really love the feel of these. They're both warm and desparate and convey immense character. He'd certainly make a great B&W study. I can totally see him in depression era clothing. Coal miner, moonshiner, butcher, truckdriver, average Joe.

Awesome work. I really love these.

I'm fascinated by the natural color palette of these, they're nearly monochromatic. Like an oil painting, or a scene out of a Jeunet & Caro movie. They look great!

I'm just curious how you got that lighting? It doesn;t look like a flash shot, was that really what the antural light there looked like?

Very impressive!!

I took these pics with the Sony R1 and the HVL-f32x flash bounced
against the (very low) ceiling .

Thank you for your kind words.
Here is another pic from that evening.

The last one is my favourite too, because of the hands.

Thanks for taking the time to comment my work.

I enjoyed your report on photokina.
As you see I'm still shooting with a Sony ( R1 ).

I recently joined a photography club in Amsterdam.
(here is their website: http://www.fotografenavond.nl )
Next sunday we'll be having the opening of a group exhibition
with 41 photographers.

And of course you can visit my website : http://www.peterdumont.nl

Hello Ric.
I still visit STF ( These pics were taken with the Sony R1 ) but most of the time I'm just lurking.

Here is another picture from that evening.

My wife and I had the same feeling.
