Artist's Comments

i have a perch. some pay thousands of dollars to lounge 'round and pay us$475 for a bottle of grey goose.

the perch is fun.

the music is too loud and if i hear "sexy back" one more fucking time, i'm gonna fucking puke. yeah, jt ... you're a star.

my ears are ringing still but ... yeah ... "sexy back" is a hit and they love it.

so ... up on this perch ... you have a great view of the massive dance floor. you can't really dance, per se, though.

i think they wriggle.

there's too many of them.

throughout the night, though, people always ask me to make photos. i just pretend i can't hear them.

i mean ... if they offer me a drink and i can clearly see them pour all of the ingredients ... yeah ... cool.

perhaps i'll even make a photo of them.

dunno why people always want to get the photographer drunk.

so ...

i had the 80-200 on the mark 2 (still focuses just that much better than the 5d) ...

and i saw this dude. there were a couple of cameras going off so i wanted to see what the fuck.

and, yeah, a quarter second hand-fucking-held. wide open.

honestly, i love this photo.

it's just so damn absurd.

anyway ... i'm having a smoke leaning against this glass wall between the VIP perch and the dance floor...

the dude and "his people" got closer and they were asking for a photo.

um, yeah, fucking right.

anyway ... one of the people hands me a card and it says, "the gazillionaire." i didn't read anything else.

'cause i already the photo i wanted.

people are odd.

and, yeah, i left it in colour.

canon eos1dm2. 70-200/2.8L. 1/4 sec at f/2.8. 400 iso. slight unsharp mask. slight contrast. resize.

One should judge a man mainly from his depravities. Virtues can be faked. Depravities are real.

i really like the eliptical ring of light around him. was that from your flash? or the P&S we see in frame?

Horribly intrusive watermarks are tacky. If you're concerned about people stealing your photos, don't post them on the internet.

Photography is the simultaneous recognition, in a fraction of a second, of the significance of an event. (HCB)

Kinda looks llike Brandon Frazier a few years from now after too much alcohol and a rare skin disorder that keeps him from going out in the sun. :giggle:

And hey, I hear the 70's tuxedo is making a comeback. ;)

Hilarious man...

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference. :nod: :heart:

Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one's definition of your life; define yourself.
