Artist's Comments

got a call from the nyc office because a magazine needed the RAW file from a photo i made back in 2003.

i mean ... i don't even remember what i shot last week.

i know i shot some babies earlier in the week as a favour for a designer ...

oh joy.

let me fucking tell you.

but ... during this shoot i was getting emails and calls about an image i made like ... long ago.

so ... found the images ...

and saw that i'd been using a backup nikon d1 as my ambient light body.

2.74 megapixels.

just freaked me the fuck out ...

i mean ... that was less than 4 years ago ...

and ...

except for the fact it was dogshit above 400 iso ...

it was a camera i depended on.

none of the d1's ever went down ... i had to wait for the d1x's to have shutters blow all the time.

then i switched to a 1d canon as my ambient light body ...

and once the mark 2's came out ...

i said ciao to nikon.

except for film, of course.

anyway ... just thought i'd share.

image made in july of 2003.

nikon d1. 80-200/2.8 at f/3.5. 1/1640th. 400 iso. minor levels adjstment. +8 contrast. i'm sure there were other tricks when i'd shoot a d1 ... but i re-edited the raw.

I know you're protecting a sellable image, but the watermark across her face is damaging...I can't feel the composition of the photo because the watermark is so busy.

How did you get such a nice DOF on that old camera?
:iconcweeks:
no shit.

Excelent shot m8! Shes changed so much recently.

Now that's what I call a watermark. Look at that beauty. Goes so well with Angelina's signature smirk. :thumbsup:

This isn't right. This isn't even wrong.
:iconcweeks:
just saw it.

i think they need to have a way to position the watermark!

took down the watermark ... i didn't like it.

nikon glass rocks and rocked back when i made the photo!
