Meditation — This is one of my all time favorite images. I shot this in the late nineties and it remains one of my faves to this day. It looks much better in print but even now looking at it again in web-quality for the jillionth time, I still dig it. I dig this shot because of the expression on the face, the dead stare in the eyes and the tonal quality. It’s a very personal shot for me of a good friend. I’ll even be a bit more honest; while I watched it reveal itself in the darkroom developing bath for the first time, I wept from joy. That was a one time thing — it’s never happened since. I can never decide if the image looks better as a horizontal or vertical.
