Two New Portraits by Nathan Jones

Shot on decades expired Kodak Tri-X 320 in a makeshift home studio using a Mamiya RB67 Pro-SD.

Till the wreck of body by Nathan Jones

Now shall I make my soul,
Compelling it to study
In a learned school
Till the wreck of body,
Slow decay of blood,
Testy delirium
Or dull decrepitude,
Or what worse evil come—
The death of friends, or death
Of every brilliant eye
That made a catch in the breath—
Seem but the clouds of the sky
When the horizon fades;
Or a bird’s sleepy cry
Among the deepening shades.
— W. B. Yeats in The Tower (1926)
