"stolen" images/portraits taken on the metro in '95 & '97. stolen because they were taken without permission/artist release/subject unaware(??? some look posed).
- liked it.
- all bw (print size 8-ish x 6.75-ish)
- all are "heads/necks" & most shot on the 3/4 (in either directions) & no smiles.
- thing about shooting on the metro is consistent lighting/space + diverse cross section of populous.
book would be a source reference for diversity in facial structure. such a huge range of eyes/noses/mouths/wrinkles/sag/ethnicity to choose from. would be a good construction exercise for students to mix & match features on a composition or two > get them thinking/seeing features/relationships of objects & meanings more analytically.
hey!!! i could steal his stolen images to manipulate in the same manner that i did my shard & veil images in (mixed with patterns & digital paintings/adj layers). the eyeballs at the top is a section of shard (pic of my son). given the premise of this book/images i would not even have to ask for permission to use his pics. given the level of manipulation at my end it would most likely exceed the % change requirement to be legally "new/royalty & liability free."
