I met Jerry In Washington Park, Denver. I was headed down toward one of the lakes and he was coming up from the lake with his camera on the tripod, over his shoulder. I noticed his flash and reflector card and saw some folks grouped together near the lake and assumed he must have been photographing them, and concluded he was most likely a pro. As I walked by, he kind of did a double-take and commented on the Hasselblad, saying "I used to have five of those things". Then I knew he was a pro :-). I was glad to hear he had kept one Hassy system.
So, we had a friendly chat, where we discussed the need for digital for a pro photographer (the workflow is so much quicker). My last comment, I remember, was "digital for work, film for art", to which Jerry agreed. We started to part ways, and it hit me -- he'd be the perfect subject. So I asked him to pose, to which he readily agreed. It was a little nerve-wracking to direct a pro portrait photographer since I don't know what the heck I'm doing. But I think it turned out fine.
I'm a little afraid I forgot to give him a contact sheet with the URL on it :-\. I hope you found your way here Jerry, and thanks for being stranger #26!
Tech Notes
The sun was slanting very strong out of the west. I had Jerry turn until he didn't have to squint. I knew my 1/2 box speed regime (in addition to film's huge overexposure latitude) would save the shadow side of his face, even in this super-contrasty light. However, when I took a reflective reading off my hand, the EV was off the chart of my little Sekonic TwinMate. I remember saying "I don't believe that". So I switched to incident and just metered the sky. The exposure came out great. I believe this was f/4 @ 1/1000. Possibly it was 1/2000, which is the top speed of the Hassy 2000FCW body.

I met Ken while wandering the DTC (Denver Tech Center) nearby my office. He's another victim of my "smoke break" attack plan. He agreed to the portrait almost immediately, after hearing just a little bit about the 100 Strangers project.
Ken is a relocation consultant by trade, and performs this function on an outsourced basis, that is, he helps other companies relocate their employees when necessary. A relocation consultant handles all the logistics of employee relocation: anything from determining a simple cash amount to assist an employee with a move, to handling the details of helping an employee sell an old house and get into a new one. He's helped entire departments relocate to other states.
Ken and I had a really nice conversation, probably one of the most enjoyable of the project. We talked a bit about photography, both digital and film, and as his boss is into photography I recommended a shop for her to visit and gave some advice about the local clubs. He was interested in the Hasselblad, and as I often do, I told him that if I did my job, the camera would produce a fantastic result. I think it did in this case.
Tech Notes
This was shot on a very sunny day. I probably should have had Ken turn a bit more so that the light wasn't nearly directly in his face. I also should have paid attention to the shadows of tree limbs playing across his face and shirt. Instead I worried about whether the sun was in his eyes (also important) to the detriment of the other aspects.
I used "stand" development for this roll of negatives. This technique helps increase shadow detail and reduces contrast a bit (it's a lot easier to add contrast than to remove it). I think that helped with moderating the shadows.
I do like the tree somewhat framing him in and the office building behind providing some context.

Fuji FP100C Instant Film
Just a little still life for a video I was making on shooting instant film in a Hasselblad. I think I overdeveloped it -- it looks posterized around the top of the camera.

I saw Angel while I was prowling the area around my office looking for strangers to shoot. He immediately agreed to let me take his photo, but I didn't explain properly and he kept on raking, so I asked him to look into the camera. He struck this great pose, and I snapped it quickly. Unfortunately, in my haste I gave him a tree growing out of his head. But it's not too horrible, IMO.
To be honest, I didn't want to get Angel into trouble by taking too much of his time. So, I very quickly explained the project, handed my ID slip to him so he could find his portrait, and moved on.
Angel, if you're seeing this, sorry it took me so long to finish the roll of film and get it uploaded here!
