The man in this photo was taken in 1946. This guy is Ken Shimizu. He is 35 years old. He has 2 children. Shimizu never runs. Sleeps late. Eats whatever he wants. Even drinks beer instead of water. Eats dinner with many kinds of food every night...
What does Shimizu do to get such a body?
Shimizu doesn't have any secrets.

Shimizu is the person sitting in the bottom left corner of the photo... As for the man standing in the middle, I'm not sure.

If the photographer was less technically skilled the photo would have been "taken".

But the man was not taken.

since I built my own darkroom many years ago. You definitely "make" photos throughout the film-to-print process.

Most of the classic photographers I've heard talked about "making pictures." I remember one saying, "What do you 'take' them from"?
