Carl! You Old Rascal! · 02:02 PM

Old Carl is a good sport! He is always willing to pose for me at lunchtime as I snap away with my "lens of the day".
Haven't used this lens much, but it is certainly decent and an excellent choice for general shooting when you might run across targets at both the wide and long ranges. It performs very nicely in both cases from what I have experienced.

Carl, you're looking Hot! The ladies will be all over you, they love Pink!

The Carl everyone knows....he sleeps about 30 minutes of every lunchtime.

Best Regards!

SUPER SHOTS! What a great character... you really got something here and of course your model offers much fodder for a photographer!

Thanks Tess, old Carl is always willing to let me try out a lens on him. I have been shooting him at lunchtime for years...he never hesitates! If you ever want to talk Tractors, Carl is your man, he loves Tractors and is an expert on them. I've heard him carry on for hours just about a tractor wheel......
Best Regards & Thanks!

Old Carl is a good sport Bob! He didn't hesitate to model the hat for me!

He is a tractor fanatic, like we are with cameras and lenses. He travels the country looking for old parts etc. and can talk tractors for hours and hours. I listen to him and his tractor talk...he listens to me and my camera talk. Pretty sweet deal!
Best Regards!

Great portraits that really do a wonderful job of capturing his personality. I can actually hear him talking tractor speak. I love the pink hat!

Glad you liked them, old Carl is a Hoot! He is a one of a kind guy, and a guy you are proud to know most of the time and don't want to know at all other times!

I won't w elaborate, but he is a "character" to say the least!

Best Regards & Thanks!
