Canned Food

A bloke at Venice Beach--down on his luck it would appear--tacks from bin-to-bin for his dinner.

Yashica Electro 35 GSN with Arista EDU 400 pushed to 800.

Another nice bleak shot Brian. For some reason it reminds me of those Zombie films of the 70's.

 

[Brian Moore]

Thanks, Pete. I know it needs more contrast and I wish I had got more of the bin and less of the sky. He does look zombie-esque.

 

[Hamish Gill]

He looks very Zombie!
I can just hear the "mmmmuuuuuuugggggghhhhhhhhh"

Is that grafiti? ... I can't work out what's going on?

Is that grafiti? ... I can't work out what's going on?

Yes,...its graffiti. But its graffiti art. Next time I go there I'll take color film--probably Ektar--and that will show Venice more like it needs to be seen. By the way,...it says "Venice" and there's an image of a guy rappelling down the side of the building.

 

[Chris Dodkin]

Very bleak Brian - very well captured

 

[Brian Moore]

Thanks Chris. You seem to have plenty of Velvia. Can you send me a few rolls so I can get some nice punchy images next time I go to Venice beach?
