New Pictures of Clara Bow. (Taken today!)

[Two Gun Bob]

Lee,

Congratulations - some great photos, and what a beautiful subject! My compliments also to Clara of course

I hope you don't mind me taking the liberty, but I was particularly struck by the vintage look of the last image and thought it would be fun to see how it looked in black and white:

I don't mind at all, Bob. You're right, the image does look good in black and white.

I processed these three images mere hours after shooting them, and I hadn't yet reached the mental point of trying anything more creative than a standard processing - sharpening, curves, hue, etc.

Good thinking, Cherry Lips! I was thinking of starting a "Vintage Portraits" thread (photos of Lounge Members in Vintage, only: no Vargas, etc., prints), but then saw the Pin-Up thread, with the warning stating, "Ladies Only - Men's posts will be promptly removed" in the innaugural post. So I decided not to.

Thanks Two Gun, Cherry and Pink! I can't wait to see all the rest of the pictures. I might post some in the Pin-Up thread.

I'm beginning to think that Clara is one of those lucky few who can't take a bad photo...but I do miss the earlier avatar with the giant hand about to squash Short Clara.

 

[Two Gun Bob]

Not my photos, C.K, but I do agree with the sentiments

[MrNewportCustom]

Thanks. C. K.!

Not my photos, C.K, but I do agree with the sentiments

I'll take credit where credit is due!

No, she really can't. Not even if she tried. Even the candid shots I got when she wasn't ready look good!

I beg to differ kind gentlemen! I have some rather incriminating video of me singing REO Speedwagon where I might not have been at my best....

I said "pictures." I know naught of video. lol

By the way, the old computer is a tad slow at the moment - it's converting 461 images to JPEG and then burning them to a disc!

Wow she looks great and I just love her makeup.

Positively and Cinnamon - thank you! That's so very nice!

The giant hand has been behaving as of late, but I'm sure it'll be up to no good sometime in the future!
