The very first job I ever did they had to have an antenna air brushed out of the back of the chauffeur in the pictures head. But it was an ad for a stereo company. The antenna was way behind him on the other side of the car. But I had my twin lens Rolleiflex with Pan F in it on a tripod set at f11 and be there. Anything within a mile of this guy was tack sharp. Front to back. Didn't see it in the ground glass and there was no polaroids for me then certainly not with that camera. I'm sure used to any of my pics having the face cropped out so all my carefully contrived or captured context was lost. I most cases it resulted in a better picture. Years later I figured out. After the humiliation wore off. [Rabs] Hack Photography Upper West Side, NY
