2020 Portrait of John Stamos and family. Rather, a social distancing portrait of the Stamos family. In the first place is a photograph I have been thinking about for some time. And John knew this. Therefore when he text me to come over to the house to make this picture I was ready. When in fact my camera gear was not ready.
In other words, my lens on my brand new (used) Linholf 4×5 was not the right focal length. And I was having a lensboard problem with the lens that was supposed to replace it. Eventually, I used a Bronica ETRS with some Tri-x film.
And a really great thing happened. I got to visit my friend. Further, his house was my first post shelter in house. Even though a new shelter in was ordered a few weeks later.
At last, 2020 Portrait of John Stamos and family. In a word, my first chance to make a 2020 Family Portrait. And to this, I owe thanks to my old friend and his wonderful wife.
By the way John Stamos got me my start in photography way back in 1982.
