12/27/2004: "Painting With Light"
This is John. He likes robots...
We used to be the best of friends. What ever happened with that anyway? John is a working man, but loves photography. He was one of those guys that had better photography equipment than I ever did, and I make my living at this.
camera/film: Hasselblad, 80mm. Kodak Tmax 100. lighting: This shot was done with a Hosemaster (silly name, I know). The Hosemaster is a fiber optic device use for 'light painting" that was developed by a photographer named Aaron Jones. To use it, you leave the room dark and the shutter open while you "paint" the light across the subject, basically like shining a flashlight on them in a controlled manner. I want to do a new series of nudes with this technique some day. darkroom: The textured effect on the image was made with a piece of frosted acetate that I scratched with sandpaper. I taped it down over the piece of photographic paper while I exposed it in the darkroom. You can see the deliberate tape marks in the lower corners. The slight color tint was done in Photoshop.

You learned what you had to learn and then the relationship had run its course. Happens that way, sometimes. Kick-ass pic, though.

Great selective lighting effect, and the brushstrokes are a nice experiment.
