Inspiration for Photo: Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth. - Walden
This photo was shot on Fuji A200 2.0 megapixel camera. Contast and saturation changes. Also edited out logo on shirt with clone stamp tool plus lighting changes. Then darkened bottom of photo to lose detail of the text on the volkswagen. Also softened face by decreasing saturation.
This photo was shot in front of my buddy's house where we often sit in my 56 limo bus and use his wireless internet.

personally I dont like the selective desaturation you've done here, I'd lke to see the whole thing as a B&W. But thats just my taste so ignore me. Nice shot anyhow.
Intriguing shot, shame there's loss of detail in the highlights and shadows. Is your camera set on it's lowest contrast setting? Great idea and mood, the selective desat works well. Huge shame that there is such a loss of detail in the shadows where the point of focus is.
Really like this - and in general, I absolutely loathe the selective desturation trick. here it seems to have pint, emphasis, and a fittingness to the image beyond the very blunt 'look at this' that it is ususally employed to shout. great feel, great depiction ofan emotion (the warmth of home, however temporary, perhaps). Just a wonderful photograph, really.
I like the battered look of the van, and the picture poses a lot of questions in the viewer's mind. Who is this person? Why is he using a laptop in the van?. Nicely done. (8)
