Artist's Comments

traveling into the city one day i sat across from this character who sat like this for most of the trip, looking extremely dejected and alone. for me, it was a moment i just had to photograph. he looked out of the window once or twice. I took about 5 frames of him, and I like this one the most.

shot in late october 2006, afternoon, with a 35/2 on a nikon fm, about f/2 or 2.8 so as to blur out the background. 1/500th on the shutter to balance out the exposure. film was ilford hp5 at 400 developed in dd-x. scanned from the neg. in photoshop, i did some contrast and levels, plus some burning on his head.

I love the subject of this photo. It makes me feel sad. When a photo makes me feel anything it's worth a comment. Great job!

i like this a lot:the subject, the light,etc.

somehow it looks a bit soft, though. i wonder if it's the scan.

its not a great scanner, some come through sharper than others... i didn't use anything to sharpen it though.

thanks mate:)

ah yeah, the clown shot is fantastic, although the lack of contrast is a point off for me, but with a holga, i dont think you could do much better..

no, but lack of contrast for me is a selling point of the photo. i think its beautiful.
