The case

Yep, that was one very cool building. It's a shame because Chicago has been undergoing a so-called renaissance in architecture in which old gems like the old courthouse have been levelled and replaced with what is, in my humble opinion, the architectural equivalent of Cheez-Wiz.

 

As for the image, its great with excellent contrast well suited to the dramatic lighting. I like the poses because they convey that at least one of the players has reached some moment of resolution. Its tense, gritty and very powerful. Man, would you please post a lemon so I can be sure you're human?

hmm... i do not have any lemons available.. I will look for other fruit or possibly some vegetables, but it's not my jurisdiction... ;)

Hello Chris, looks like you got a big fan, I got lemons available, i'll send you a couple. Nice pic, who are these guys? Geert

They are a couple of good people with aspirations to become models some day (perhaps very soon!). I took this as an editorial pic for a small modeling agency. I think I have three shots from that place and one cool story that comes with it. :)

shot has a very strong appeal & the caption's wonderful & mysterious like the pic itself!

Would this be "natural" light from the windows or your light that looks like it comes from the windows? Burn on the white guy (near light) or dodge the black guy (further from that light source)?... t (Cool shot, nicely constructed... was everyone happy?)

Natural light from the window. That is actually why I placed them the way I did and it took me a long time to get it right. Especially that we had about 10 old refregerators to the right of the frame.

Very interestiong.

great!
