Artist's Comments

this could be a friggin' caption contest photo.

this ... is an outtake. yes.

made in the most contrasting of shoots ... a band photo.

i made one photo like this. the rest of of the band. all two of them.

although i liked what i saw on the monitor of the camera, when i got home and saw the detail that i wanted on the fingerprint ... i was happy.

contrasting what went on over the weekend this shoot -- albeit guerilla-style with no permits in the streets and alley-ways of hollywood -- was a breathe of fresh albeit smoke-tinged air.

i like this photo.

i like that it was completely unexpected and made during a shoot with a wholly different purpose.

and i thought i was getting home early tonight.

maybe tomorrow...

canon eos1dm2. 24-70/2.8L (go to lens). f/9. 1/5 sec. hand-fucking-held. hensel porty with bi-tube head - 2400 ws. chimera super pro plus large softbox 54x72 inches (silver interior with light baffle) frame right about 10 feet from subject's hand. bogen super boom. matthews stands. assistant. a bit of levels. convert to b/w via channel mixing. a bit of contrast. a bit of unsharp mask.

YES, THE CANON EOS 1D MARK 2 IS DIGITAL. THIS WAS NOT SHOT ON ILFORD. ;)

I do love the darkness of the shot, very secretive, i get a feeling that were not all told the "truth" in the photo, like something this going on behind the action. Simple, but done many a time.

very Schindlers List, great shot with amazing detail and I love the stark contrast of the black & white.

Heading to the Serenity premiere tonight, so will work on the technique and try to dodge the moberazzi!

Revolver shoot should be up soon, will let you know mate
