- made me wonder if the photographer put a blocking disk on the lens to get this effect

It was probably really out of focus to make it look like that.

Gundlach Rapid Rectigraphic
The lens is a Gundlach Rapid Rectigraphic, an old brass barrel lens with a patent date of 1890. Originally intended for 5x8 plates, it provides some nice fall-off on 8x10 which this portrait was done on (320TXP pushed to iso 2500). Taken with a Burke & James 8x10 field camera, the location is the Presidio in San Francisco.

:drool: I have always wanted to learn to use an 8x10, for as long as I can remember, I'm 53...:scratch2: I recently had the strongest urge to buy a Crown Graflex and sorta meet my dream half-way. Lack of funds once again gets in the way...
True, but the question is why do the circles have such a bright rim and dim center - that's the unusual feature.

8x10
8x10 is a wonderful portrait format. It's a learning experience, you both have time to relax, then one last breathe and the shot is done.
I have a Crown Graphic, that with Grafmatics makes a great rig for street portraits and events. I take my Crown all over the place.
