That’s done it.<\/p>\n

We have been deliberating for a couple of days. We recently started the Reader’s Photo of the Month<\/a>. We choose a photo from reader’s submissions based on the photo but also the supporting commentary.<\/p>\n

We don\u2019t care what specific camera, lens or how many mega-zooples your processor zapped.<\/p>\n

We\u00a0do<\/em> care about your inspiration, creative process and perhaps some minor technical info.<\/p>\n

Read the guidelines.<\/a><\/p>\n

Send us a photo<\/a> for next month’s\u00a0Reader’s Photo of the Month.<\/em><\/p>\n

Darrell Larose<\/a> won top spot<\/strong> this month for his version of a classic – see a larger version of Darrell’s portrait<\/a>:<\/em><\/p>\n

Reader's photo of the month<\/p><\/div>\n

“Inspired by\u00a0Karsh’s John F. Kennedy portrait<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

I always liked this study (of Kennedy by Karsh<\/a>), the fact reinforced when I held this original 11×14 photo in my hand. To see an original Karsh can’t be described. For a portrait photographer it is truly holding the Holy Grail. My self-portrait was inspired in terms of lighting and the profile. I opted not to be praying but I think I got the lighting close.<\/em><\/p>\n

I opted to\u00a0replicate Ilford FP-4<\/a> (my personal favourite B&W film<\/a>)<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/em><\/p>\n

I add just a hint of brown-sepia to emulate Agfa Portriga warm tone FB photo paper.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Thanks Darrell.<\/p>\n

His was chosen as this month’s Photo of the month.<\/p>\n

Why?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

We liked the lighting and technical elements, inspiration and homage to a classic portrait, photographer and medium. I have a spot for film photography<\/a> and although Darrell shot this digitally he tips his hat to film.<\/p>\n

Thanks Darrell and to all the people that sent in a photo.<\/p>\n

Please try again in May.<\/p>\n
