I'd been experimenting doing some portraits with my YashicaMat 124G and the close-up add-on lens. So I decided to do some portraits of the 6 wild, mostly willing kids at the campsite over a 5 day period.
Day 1
Campsite in the evening.
Max - He's getting so used to being photographed that I swear he's mocking me half the time...
Nick - Not quite in the spirit yet...
Day 2
Campsite during the Cowboys & Indians break.
Claire - The Indian Chief with remnants of her war paint
Big Max - I'm not sure why he put his hand up to his chin. I didn't give him any instruction. I think he saw Sam do it and thought it was cool...
Nick
Sam - I think this is where Big Max got the idea.
Max
Day 4
Mono Creek trail.
Frank - Chapped face...
Nick - Finally in the spirit...
Sam
Max
Big Max - with a variation on the hand to the face....
Claire
Day 5
Campsite - Breakfast
Nick
Frank
Sam
