Last summer I shot a mountain landscape<\/a> in the French Alps with my Sony A7. For the longest time it looked like this would be the only photograph worth mentioning this year. But this morning I shot a photograph of my wife\u2019s knee with my viewcamera<\/a> which turns out to be at least as worthy of the title \u2018Best photograph of 2020\u2019. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last year before Christmas my wife had an operation removing some excess bone matter just above her knee and we decided to document it. Today I shot the 7th and probably last one in this series. They are all portrait-oriented black and white photographs shot using my Cambo + Leaf Aptus 22 + 90 mm APO Digitar wide open (f\/4.5) focused on the scar (or bump, for the first photograph). Using the movements I was able to put the focus always straight on the scar, no matter the perspective. I love the flexibility a viewcamera such as the Cambo offers in this respect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What do you think? Is it interesting beyond the personal documentary aspect? As always, the photograph is for sale as an edition of 5 + 1 AP, documented and with a certificate of authenticity. Contact me if you\u2019re interested. (Price starts at \u20ac 135.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
