hi Wisp,

Yr B&W picture certainly stands out from the rest.

Care to share on how and why you took this picture? Did you shoot it in film? What equipments were used?

Hope to hear from you. Cheers!

Urm in terms of 'how' is pretty much what captures my eye. I won't go on the more confusing esthetics or emotional/visceral linkage to the scene as it's often too cheem to understand, but yeah..all I can say is I looked at a hell lot of photographs to form a 'view' what I want to shoot.

Film used is Tri X, pushed to ASA 1600. I was using a range finder at max aperture of f1.4, so I had to be careful on how to focus. I already focused on the mirror and was waiting for the driver to just...turn..his...head and...stare.

Wa la..!
