I still haven't gotten back the B&W rolls which comprised the bulk of this session, but I thought that this Portra 160 shot was a fine portrait of a man I admire.

EDIT:
Got B&W film back. This is a much better portrait. Acros 100.

And a setup shot for the technically inclined:

64" Paul Buff Soft Silver PLM camera left feathered on the BG and subject, Wescott X Drop white backdrop as my large bounce fill. Hasselblad 500C/M w/ 150c Sonnar
A bit on the reasoning: I wanted something earnest. I felt like adding a lot of different lights and getting fancy would not fit his personality at all. He's a complex guy, but not in any way artificial. So I opted for a one-light setup and put the light higher and farther to get more depth of light (see: inverse square law), but then feathered it just a hint.
