He is a really sad case - doesn't know who is father is; mother was an addict who died recently;in and out of foster care; in and out of trouble. He seems to be on a fast, straight track to disaster - and, in fact, outwardly revels in the role of doomed bad ass. Reminds me of the Dylan song on Street Legal about a motor cycle headed for a wall. Underneath it all he seems to be a sweet kid who, ironically, was probably the hardest worker on the trip I wrote about. Best B.

Can you give me a little background on your subjects? I'd love to know more about kid with the tattoo hanging his head. I don't really care what camera was used to make these images - they exhibit a depth of feeling and intimacy that every photographer should strive for. Put a Holga in the hands of a master and their images will still resonate. This is not to say that your Oly is a digital Holga, BD! It's obviously a very capable picture-taking machine. My point is that it is the picture-MAKING machine that really counts - you. But you know this already. :) Liam __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
