I have a strange soft-spot for side-of-the-road Dead Furniture. It always causes me to flash back and wonder about it's history and what caused it to find it's way here. The sharp hot light here, and angle of shadow enhance this effect for me, emphasizing the rounds lines of composition and shadow.

Trust me, Luke, I'd shoot him as often as he'd allow. I'm posting some more from the first shoot, and hope to have another shoot with him soon...

Beautiful light and silhouette here. The explanation gives it even more poignant depth.

Interesting--I passed by that window many times while bussing to and from work, and always wanted to shoot it! :)

This feels like a three-dimensional Mondrian. Fun color and texture too.

I love the contrast of colors between the "real" and the "fictional." Great light, and lots of domestic detail.

Interesting that you posted the cancer series in reverse-numerical order, saving this "first" one for last. Had you started here, it might have shaded the way we looked at the other less tense shots; but in this progression, you give us this very visceral (and beautifully lighted) expressive moment of anticipation, tension, even fear. I love the box of sunlight (?) immediately over the subject's shoulder, and its presence implies a place (and a context) outside the artificial netural-zone of a studio, and places it in a more real and everyday place, giving it even more immediacy.

Wow--the stark contrast is enhanced by the stoney grain to the texture. This one hits me right between the eyes, and then right to the heart.

A very powerful portait. Strong use of light and shadow. The light feels natural, adding to the sense that we are witnessing something real and felt, rather than posed. The title and photo information add to the depth of feeing here. Wow.

I like the vastness here, but it feels a bit dark or maybe gray-flat, which could be easily fixed with a contrast adjustment or maybe using curves to play with the levels.

I'm a huge fan of winter tree shapes, and my eye cant help but anthropomorphize them into reaching hand shapes. This has great energy, plus a strong use of almost-negative space in the compositional balance.

Wow--interesting contrast to the previous post. I'd suggest even combining them for an interest "agony and the ecstacy" diptych. Can't wait to see where this series goes... Thanks for sharing it.

A visceral pose, with enhanced starkness due to the lack of color (which also focuses us on the composition even more). I also find an interesting angle of light here, causing the outer area to be brigher while the center is a heart of darkness. All of these elements come together when one reads the title. The number implies a series, and I am anxious to see more of this series.

This is one crop short of a very strong portrait. I like the asymetrical composition, but I'd crop from the left and top more (to about where the hair ends), to focus on the face more, and less on the shape of the head, which the extra top area emphasizes. Having done a lot of self-portrait work, I know how hard they can be, and appreciate the work here.
