I just pulled the 11x14 prints from the archival washer, 3 very different subjects.
1) Harsh ladyboy sex worker laying on a bed in a short time room.
2) Headshot of rough looking drinking man from Klong Toey slum.
3) 5 young girls standing outside in a hilltribe village in Laos.
I like all 3 photos and would love to go back to all 3 places and make more photographs! People of all kinds and types are interesting/compelling/exciting to me, learning about their lives, getting a flavour for who they are and then trying to capture that feeling in a photographic portrait. Life does not get much better than entering the lives of people and making pictures, wish I could do this for another 300 years!
Am a bit surprised the hilltribe photo turned out at all, I was shooting in quickly changing and very low light with a 20 minute (tourists waiting in the tour van) time line to get it done, the exposures were 1/4 or 1/8 at F 8 with a 150mm lens (4x5 Tri-x on a Linhof).
