We went camping at Rock Creek Lake last week with some family friends.
I’d been experimenting doing some portraits with my YashicaMat 124G and the close-up add-on lens. So I decided to do some portraits of the 6 wild, mostly willing kids at the campsite over a 5 day period.

Day 1
Campsite in the evening.

Max – He’s getting so used to being photographed that I swear he’s mocking me half the time…

Nick – Not quite in the spirit yet…

Day 2
Campsite during the Cowboys & Indians break.

Claire – The Indian Chief with remnants of her war paint

Big Max – I’m not sure why he put his hand up to his chin. I didn’t give him any instruction. I think he saw Sam do it and thought it was cool…

Nick

Sam – I think this is where Big Max got the idea.

Day 4
Mono Creek trail.

Frank – Chapped face…

Nick – Finally in the spirit…

Sam

Max

Big Max – with a variation on the hand to the face….
