We had the pleasure of having Pastor Shawn and his family in for one last family portrait before they moved.  When we were done I asked Shawn if he would mind sitting for me so I could do an image with the 8×10 view camera.  This is a film process and as it happend I was moving a little too quick for the camera.  Moving from my normal shooting set up to the view camera requires a 6 stop adjustment in my light levels – for those photographers out there, you know that’s a lot of light.  But, as in all creative processes, I have learned to keep my mind open and an interesting image came of it.
