I like the last one, but I have been collecting similar pics for a long time. This one is from 25 years ago, in my OM-1 days. With all the tech deficiencies, it is still among my favorites of my daughter.

Zach, # 2 is my favorite! I like the whole pose.

Clayton, what film were you shooting then and how did you digitize it? I love this tnality. Was this a Koadachrome II?

I wonder whether the full color can be restored?

I wonder whether the full color can be restored?

Quite a bit (I had a good try)… but it wouldn't be magic as this 'original' so I won't post unless Zack request me to do so…


still a cpmpetition of very cute little girls… happy new year to them and their families…

Mostly I used 100 asa Kodak back then, but was just getting serious about photography, and did not pay a lot of attention to the film. The 4x6 print spent about 20 years in an album before I scanned it on a flatbed.
Anyone wanting to play with any pics I post is completely welcome do do so.

Hi Clayton,

If you send me the largest file as a TIFF possible, then I'll give it people who request it. Send it to me via

to editor.opfATmac.com Of course replace the AT with @

I've started a thread in the Retouching forum here (http://www.openphotographyforums.com/forums/showthread.php?p=40611#post40611).

Meanwhile, let's have more kids "barndoor" smiles!

Thanks for sharing!

Very cute. :) Looks a little heavy on the contrast tho.

[Barry Johnston]

The similarities are startling.... they could be sisters..... all-be-it 20 odd years apart...

I like the high contrast in your photos Zach and the skin tones are perfect. Also well chosen depth of field. All these photos work for me.

Many Thanks,
Barry.

What I love about these pictures is the shyness and feeling of joy the girls seem to show. This, BTW, only comes from caring homes. I hope we get more such images. I feel these balance the bad news we read everyday. Besides being personal treasure, these are naturals and show such a lot of potential.

Seeing these little kids makes me think we have to make sure they have a good opportunities to grow up in!

Girls in Morocco smile as well.

Clayton,

These kids pictures are terrific. When did you take that? Do you have a larger version nd could you convert to sRGB before loading so the colors are displayed best.

I am collecting them by the dozens, but have very poor internet here, and no decent software. That is after buying a new laptop with all the good stuff, but it came with a glitch that needs warranty work, which is complicated for me. Will do my best.

Where are you in Venezuaela? I'll have to come down there to fix your computer, but I do love those pictures. Reminds me so much of Loretta Lux whose work I admire but you don't use any artifice do get your results.

This was in dense fog- not much color.
I am spending two thirds of my time working in Morocco. Plan on leaving my laptop in Caracas for repair when I go back to Venezuela in about a month.
