print study, fall 2005

This negative was massively over-exposed. I used Tri-X 400 in an agfa Click I. I had to expose the paper for 60 seconds at f8 to get this detail. I like the Avedon-ish quality that the burnt sky has. I think it has a silly/grotesque nature. I'll re-do it at 8x10 later.

Dave's comments:
My biggest beef with this one is the fact that we can’t see his face. I love everything else. Exposure is good. Framing is good. I just wish we could see his face. Even just peeking between the jug and the apple.

My thoughts:
I have other versions of this. I'll try those on Thursday and see if I can get that face in.

Gordon's comments:
This doesn't work for reasons both perspective-al and technical. Might be a good picture to be made of that image yet but this isn't it.

londonhair's comments:
coffee guy-I actually kind of like this one for some reason, I think its that I like the plain background and the subject is just kinda weird and obscure ( but in a good way to me) i think that it is very hard to take pictures of statues and other peoples artowrk in any case so this angle works for me because it is not too obvious.
