week of apr16 | self-portrait airtrain | reflect – brooklyn, ny | canon digital ah the classic self-portrait. from the january archives and the mirror project…taking the airtrain to jfk airport. ridiculously cold out that day….*brrr….*
i’m a sucker for reflective shiny glass shots, but regardless, this shot is strong. gives you a great sense of the space, the time of day, there’s narrative, sense of movement, swishy (swishy?) graphics, exterior vs interior (using juxtaposed color schemes/temperatures and like the symetry of the inside vs the dynamic curve of the outside) … ok, sounds like im bullshitting, but im not. the list would go on too. nice.
@ halo: My bad. Your Photo Friday posts I just look at the pics and gloss over the text.
In other news:
I have a similar shot (taken by me of me) after a 20-hour (the word you’re looking for is – hellish) Amtrak trip from upstate NY to Chicago, said pic with Adams St. Bridge (Matrix reference) in the background. Anyway, a friend of mine who clicked on over to your blog says “Pet, you look just like this guy. The hair and everything.”
Asian + bleached hair/cool spikes + specs = I guess.
Um, thanks ^_^
very nice shot!
Fantastic shot!
Is it just me – or have I seen this pic before? A repost?
