Mr Man returns  by maggiemae

Mr Man returns

Still experimenting with a makeshift lightbox and I have found that with the light behind, it is no good. With the light along one side it is OK but the best is the light in front for clarity. B&W is a bonus.

Mr Man and Yoland returned from their gallivanting around the world. Yolanda brought us a bottle of Grappa from Italy and a rose. Mr Man wanted a studio portrait of them hence the makeshift studio.
Very cute in BW

Yolanda is in a very swish dress magiemae , she'll never get her leg over the seat in that!! Great b/w shot too & I always like to hear news of Mr Man.

Aww....Glad to see them back, and bearing gifts too....bless! : )

My ! you have been inventive ! Looks as if Yolanda has changed her dress since her travels,& I suspect she's been on the bottle before handing it over to you !!
May 22nd, 2013

I think the lighting has worker very well here and I just love the composition. Not sure who Mr. Man is (your Son?) but anyway I am glad you have caught up with them again.

Cool shot
May 23rd, 2013  
That is really sharp and crisp

@pachelbel Thanks for the comment, Veronica! Mr Man and his bike, has been on numerous adventures with me as a character set in the particular scene. Yolanda was a girlfriend he picked up on one of these wild adventures. I have tagged them "mr man" and yolanda. You can see various places we have travelled around NZ with them as subjects.

These are among my all time favorite of 365 shots. Everytime your characters pop in I smile.
May 23rd, 2013  
ahh great ,she looks a little glassy eyed!!!!lol
May 23rd, 2013  
I'm happy to meet Mr. Man and Yolanda! They look like an adventerous, fun couple! Looking forward to seeing more of them as my 365 adventure continues!
May 23rd, 2013  
HAA ... very cute! Mr Man and Yolanda adventures! Maybe you could write a book about them (for adults with all their liquor bottles!)
May 23rd, 2013  
Mr Man has a nice bike!
May 23rd, 2013  
I love Mr. Man! great lighting!
May 23rd, 2013

@happypat The dress has a velcro opening at the back - she just opens it up a bit then its heigh ho ...on they go!
May 23rd, 2013  
@beryl She does like her little tipple but in this case, the bottle was full and tightly capped!
May 23rd, 2013  
@brillomick That comes from staring into a camera lens for a whole afternoon!
May 23rd, 2013  
@havrotb I did publish a book on their first lot of adventures but i have come a long way in photography since then!
May 23rd, 2013  
Very good set, especially in B&W
May 23rd, 2013  
They certainly get around. Nice of them to bring you a pressie xx
May 23rd, 2013  
Cute scene. I have a light box too but haven't had much success with it yet. It's harder to figure out than I expected.
May 23rd, 2013  
Good to see the travellers back, no doubt for a quick rest before setting off again.
May 23rd, 2013  
So glad they are back. And they are so wonderful to think of you. Wonder where they are off to next.
May 23rd, 2013  
@yonnie they are keeping their plans very close to themselves, Yvonne!
May 23rd, 2013  
Nice portrait! How awesome that Mr Man wanted one!
May 23rd, 2013  
Great portrait of a great pair- like Liz and Dick they're always on an adventure!
May 24th, 2013  
I think Mr. Man and Yolanda have captured the imagination of us 365ers! I love to hear their stories, and I like how she is always dressed to kill!
May 24th, 2013  
I like this portrait. You are so creative!
May 25th, 2013
