Right then- here's the story: I'm only gonna tell it once so pay attention or else just jump ahead and look at the pictures, either way everybody wins! What a world! Where were we... so I was out this morning making to continue my Ice Shacks series, and where everything initially was looking real good for a moody day of ice fog and the such it was blowing a gale and misting heavy so the hardest thing was trying to walk upwind on the slick lake ice covered with an inch of water- slippery and like one step forward a half a step back to say the least. So after a bit of that I figured to go with plan b. Enter Curtis Wells. Curtis is my neighbor and I met him about 8 years ago or so when he was sanding the floors of a place I was working on- and right away he endeared himself to me as a real nice guy with a great warm spirit and a really cool face. Add to that: I shoveled him out a few weeks ago and helped him move a refrigerator so I figured I could call him up and say "Hey Curtis- you mind if I come over and make some pictures of you?" and he would oblige. Here's a funny part- he said on the phone "oh yeah that's great Nate", etc, "I'm just going to be reading in my pajamas"- so I figured that would be just perfect. But he wasn't about top budge out of that bed!- I felt like kind of a heel for making him get up- but it's all in good fun- and I always tell people: "you'll appreciate it later". So Curtis obliged and I sat him facing this way and that and shot him with my 24 then told him to relax and switched to 50 then again at 100. I considered bringing off camera flash but wanted to do environmental portrait kind of stuff and figured natural light would be best then.

Curtis Wells 4. 50mm 1.8 1/30 sec at f/2.5 iso 1250.

Then Curtis talked me into making a couple pictures of his car so he can advertise it for sale on the interwebs. So here's his car while we're at it: 

4Sale: Curtis's car- 500 bucks or best offer!

The weather turned better a little later in the day and I went back to pursuing the ice shacks but I'm so glad to have been able to make some images of old C dog- landscapes are great and there is always the next amazing landscape image, but there's something about a persons face that can really make a picture important.
