The Chinese believe in recording their every family member in meticulously recorded detail. These records are kept at the family home for generations, usually tended by an elder. I was very privileged to be shown this families records and, after some persuasion, was allowed to take his picture. But he only allowed me a few seconds and I had to work with what was available for light. Hope you like it. M9 with 35mm Summicron IV. If people are interested, I can post more of these travel portraits on this thread maybe. Or each as a separate thread? Mod advice please!

I'm not a Moderator but that sounds like a wonderful idea.

Very nice, and yes, why not start a "Travel Portraits" open thread.  I'd like to see more of yours, too.

Okies, I'll do just that!

I love it.

 

And I also believe this endeavor will be a much less dangerous exercise for the photographer than chasing motorcycle club members around the countryside.

 

Carry on.
