Wes

Wes has a different do rag for each day of the week. This is his Thursday model.

Wes looks a bit like a bad biker dude. But looks can be deceiving.

Wes bakes chocolate chip cookies for folks he has even met yet. And since he retired from his former gig, teaching anatomy to aspiring medical students, he has become a model, a photographer, and a dispenser of elder wisdom, not necessarily in that order.

The big soft key light camera left for this street portrait was a plate glass window in the front of a cafe in Savannah. The background light was light from a street sign reflected off the wall of the cafe. The narrow depth of field was produced with a 50 mm prime lens shot at f/1.4 and 1/400 sec (at ISO 1600).

Post processing was with Photoshop CS4 and PhotoTools 2.0. I was going for a 1930's film noire look.
