Hi!
I've been working on a lot of my images lately, sometimes
reinterpreting older images.
Here's one of the ones I was working on today:

This was shot in 2000 . My actor friend Bob Chapin had come with us to
St. Thomas for one of my workshops, and I shot a bunch of stuff of him
for possible use on his web site/portfolio. This one I thought might
make a nice poster, so I left extra room on the left for type. There's
no convenient pirate ship at Lindquist Bay, where real pirates used to
operate in olden days, so I imported the pirate ship from some shots I
had taken at Disney World/Epcot. We had a hell of a lot of fun doing
this shoot and this is one of my favorite photos from that day. I
don't recall exactly what film I used, but it was Kodak color negative,
ISO 100, 645 format.
Ship in the top right corner makes it work...
But Bob, the left hand that is pointing at us... My immediate impression
was that it wasn't a full arm - something's been cut off... Probably I
am too sensitive or something, but do you see what I mean? I am not sure
that the lance or whatever he is holding is supposed to be held that
way... It probably is, yet the way he extended his finger is odd...
After some active gesturing I managed to convince my wife that the
position of the finger is unusual...
Regardless, this is beautiful photo shot in a beautiful day...
