TIASSA : Chapter 8 - part 2

Description

after a long respite....
part two of a brief series within a series...

a brief description of the project:
it's an ongoing photo study of accidental deaths... but not in a grotesque way... i like to maintain an air of mystery to each of these pictures... (my photo teacher hated that... but... i like the viewer to make up what happened.)
end description

this is a selfish self-awareness : chapter eight - part 2
a homeless kid freezes to death

things about this picture:
1. this is film... medium format... 100Tmax on a bronica (not sure what model)
2. this was done on location with studio lighting.
3. framing was done digitally (with things i scanned myself)
4. the model was warmer than i was.
5. "all" homeless people (stereotype, of course) have shopping carts... so what better place to shoot this than outside a grocery store?
6. i nearly lost all feeling in my fingers while shooting this.
7. the lighting was done this strongly as to suggest headlights on a car and he's kind of looking away from them and, essentially, trying to disappear.
