Photos of Collin
My father is passionate about books. He had a bookstore, called The Bookrack, in Yellow Springs, OH in 1958–59. He remained a collector until recently.
This is a self-portrait. I’m not sure how he did this shot with his library and a picture frame. My guess is that it is two different negatives exposed onto the same piece of photo paper, a straightforward trick in an analog photo lab.
Self portrait in professional clothes.
At 46, younger in this beach shot than I am now.
I don’t know whether this is a self-portrait. It’s possible he did it on a timer.
I doubt my dad shot these two photos above. They’re not his style and it would have been hard to shoot them.
