Did a bit of work 2 days ago on the "My Father" series. The photo was shot the same way as the Thai color heads, a ring flash on a Hasselblad with a Hoya close up filter. Used Kodak Portra VC 220 and did a tiny bit of clean up work in photoshop.
I like the expression, it speaks to me of some of the things he has gone through in his life.
