i stole some light gels from our light guy to do a majority of the color jawns. but i use the "pix enhance" option on my powerbook (not photoshop) --just thought i'd clear the air.
i shoot in black and white with colored gels and alot of homemade tricks (breathe on the lens, homemade lights and hold shutter tricks)
etc. im tired

Maybe I'm jaded because all i hear is photography critque but it seemed to me that some of the ppl were chosen last year because they were popular okayplayers not good photographers, alot of that shit wouldn't of even passed as D+ work at my school. Alot of it was incredible though.

Oh n/m i saw what was yours, yah man your stuff isn't bad, its a bit static for my taste but has nice composition and good contrast. The one thing that gets to me is when people try to cover up an uninteresting subject by trying to be abstract, wether it be photoshop or anything else. Just shoot the fucking image for god sakes.

I try to believe that folks were trying to give a range of differents styles and whatnot.
And then again what might seem lack lustre to one might be picasso to another.
I love how art can be subjective and relative to the eyes viewing it.
