| 24 May 2026 - C-41 Café |
I am a portrait photographer. Except when I go abroad, I never take street photographs which seems to be one of the final remnants of photography in this century.
Because I am behind my camera I am rarely photographed. I don’t mind being photographed as my attitude is that I don’t have to worry how to take the photograph so I am then receptive to the portrait. My fave ever portrait of me was taken by Johnny Thunders. I wrote about it in this blog. Link below.
The picture here was taken at a coffee meets film get together at the C-41 Café this past May 24. I should have asked the photographer to give me his name. He used a Hasselblad with and Instax back (a sort of modern Polaroid).
I like it lots but I must add that I forgot to remove it from my shirt pocket. I put the shirt in the wash.
Obviously the Instax is intact!
