Subject: [Leica] "Wide" Portraits

Hello Luggers,
  Most of my portraits are landscape -- don't know why, it just seems to
go that way ....

(two bad scans in the batch there, my appologies for them). I used to
shoot a lot more vertical shots but in recent years I've become
disenchanted with the look for some reason.

I also shoot a lot of portaits with a 20mm -- partly because my studio is
_small_ and partly because ... i dunno, i like the look.

to be fair, I put up a pair of recent leicaportraits in vertical format
... i do do it occasionally....

Almost all of Lee Friedlander's Leica self portraits are landscape.
FWIW....


Good shooting.
