20050825 / The Midnight Club

Close to the Row / Monterey, CA

Silver-ringed fingers
in the bright August sun.
Passing the time with Patterson's killer.
Mr. Mojo Risin' close to the bone.
Close to the row.
I pedaled fifty miles today
from morning to this place.
Screw the rat race.
I gots my own pace.
I gets my own place.
Cold coffee in yesterday's paper.
And this long lens in my face.

Nikon D70
1/1000s f/5.6 at 300.0mm iso200 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

I also like his choice of authors and this candid, Chris!

Looks like he has one eye on you, like the bg in this image, strong light as ever and the spot on focus/composition

I didn't know Dennis Hopper hung out in Monterey?

I like his choice of authors & your selection of candid...well captured.

Guest		26-Aug-2005 07:16
I love this one. While he is doing everything to abstract himself from the reality (music, reading), he is looking at it... great contrast. very well done... of course, one can give other interpretations... alem

Very nice light and aswesome capture!

I think he's 5-0 working a sting operation in the park ;) You know, I've never been able to absorb what I'm reading while listening to music/watching television - not very good with media multi tasking! Brian mentioned the character of this face, and I agree that the lighting here does a great job of really bringing that character out and leading the eye to that part of the image.And he seems to be conscious of style - color coordinating and accesorizing with silver ;) Caption is quite complimentary, and glad that this was left in color. Great shot and well captured.

Great portrait! vote

I really love the half shadow in this image. This is pretty cool Chris. The Dof and the colors in this image as well are wonderful.

Guest		26-Aug-2005 04:04
definitely looks like he is enjoying the day in the sun, with a good book, classical music and his best jewelries. great candid shot.

Brian McAllister		26-Aug-2005 03:09
It's Popeyes brother. Beautiful light to this shot.. I bet you had to wait for him to look up or the shadow from his cap would have blocked off most of his features. Good job. And...you nailed his character with your description. Vote.

Guest		26-Aug-2005 03:02
Another good one! You're really good at portraits. Love your caption too!
