suddenly, miles had a very bright idea
Unfortunately, like so many of his ideas, it was quickly lost to the dark corners of his mind, having been replaced by the promise of more interesting things: vacuums, bacon and naps.
Taken with a Hasselblad 500 C/M.
(I love this image... not just Miles, or the pose. I also love the details in the hand, the fine focus of the lightbulb, hand and sleeve, the grain of the sand in the foreground, the general grain and tone of the film... which in this case, is Acros 100, a very contrasty film. I didn't think it would work well for this kind of portrait... it surprised me.)

But, who could blame him considering bacon!
This is super! He's one rugged little guy, huh? So much character here... ...and the little added bit with the bulb just makes it so much fun. Danielle, you are surely a wonderful photographer!

Ha! That is classic. I have been very impressed with Acros when I have used it - it does seem to produce great detail.

Superb portrait. I love French Bulldogs. The idea of him thinking of bacon and naps cracks me up too.

I didn't see the lightbulb in the thumbnail view- this is great!
The tones are really nice.
This should be on those cards in gifts shops with quirky quotes on top or inside
