back to the beginning

look like something from the 50s? it should. i took this picture on my grandpa's minolta srt 303, a camera introduced in the '60s and scanned the processed film with my crappy canon printer. a few digital touch-up's and presto.

the model is sam, and it's his "50's jazz" birthday.

i love this photo. i guess this is my way of encouraging us all (myself included) to avoid the standard 'party photography' that we so easily fall into. i didn't blind sam with my flash, even though it was dark. i also didn't hold the camera and stand beside him with my tongue out. let's hold ourselves to a higher standard. art can happen anywhere, if you look for it.
