I always associate your name with this shot although I could think of any of your numerous funny shots also, the "French Connection" where you portray someone like Colette so well... but this shot, this Robert Mitchum man, is totally seductive!t
OHHH Duhh sorry every one I thought since I can see the color version every one can... Well never been the brightest bulb in the box... going to go fix that ...
First ribbon! Woo-hoo!!! I'm ashamed to say I failed to vote this challenge, so did not contribute to your success. If I don't get invited to the victory party, I will understand.
This shot is just so film noire-ish and interesting...who is this guy, and why is he lighting a match in the dead of night? Great character you have for a model. Seeing how little light you had to work with and how sharp your subject is, I can just imagine how still he must have stayed for you! Love it. 9
