Pat w/ James Dean

Any comments are much appreciated, thank you.

My man.

Good shot with a good story, congrat

2 cool guys...

Great idea and well executed, i think.

Excellent, one of the most original concepts I've seen recently.

 

 

The idea of "play within a play" has spanned ages in drama and art, and was exercised by so many, Shakespeare and Agatha Christie to mention but a few, but the use of this device in photography has been, in my opinion, undervalued.

 

 

You did it perfectly, projecting the casual walk of a film star in an American city to an anonymous country road, and the nonchalant posture and face of James Dean to the main subject of your photograph -- Pat whose face may express anything but nonchalance.

 

Again, so many possible interpretations, and anyone looking at this photograph may find their own...

"play within a play", I really like the way that sums this up, your interpritations are spot on Adam, you have a vast knowledge of the art but I could already tell that by looking at your images. I look forward to further analyze your great portfolio.
