Description One of my favorite photos that I've taken in awhile. It just kind of makes me happy. The title is a reference to a Rush song, "Digital Man."

Yerba Buena Center for the Arts.

he's laughing at you.... he see's your squares, he see's you reflecting.... he's in the back of your mind... that subtle giggle that itches at your bones.





*been a while since I wrote something like that about a peice.

Art! You've done it again why do i enjoy your photographs so much ?? )))
when you get a book published (i'm assuming you will) you'll have to let me know, i'd be first in line to buy it !!

This particular photo brings up very bright but also crazy things it's sort of like this mad crazy scientist screaming something like "it's alive!!!" . But i also love how the focus is set off the poster and it leads the eye wander along the glass window into that neat wall

doesn't that black dot on his cheek bother you? i guess i can live with it

welder In reply to la-feuille [2005-10-20 05:01:58 +0000 UTC]

I thought briefly about cloning out that "dot", but in the end I decided to leave it for a few reasons. In print size it's easier to see that's it's actually a point of attachment for the banner, and it's also easier to see the other two attachment points. I felt like they just added a little bit extra oddness to the photo, especially the way that one was seemingly punching a whole in the man's cheek...and hopefully this would invite the viewer to inspect a little closer. So I left them in

When I first saw this through the DD, I thought it was a man gone crazy, having to be subdued through drugs in a special prison cell. I was really surprised to find it was a business man.

Hmm, you've got the contrast and colors perfect. And it's a very intriguing perspective.

This picture is simply unique... the mood, the colors, everything in it evokes different feelings and impressions, probably never evoked before. I can't seem to formulate any witty comments about it. I simply love it and that's it.

And what a great reference to Rush!

...very nice indeed. is this only a photograph or did you manipulate it?

welder In reply to rain1man [2005-10-19 01:45:30 +0000 UTC]

No manipulation, it's a single shot, just color balancing, curves, levels, that sort of thing, and a slight perspective correction for the architecture.
