canon 5d @ 1250 iso sigma 20mm f/1.8 @ f/3.2

I wish I was in flickr to favorite this. The gun in the background is wonderful.

I like everything about this image; the subject, the clothes, the setting - and that gun; reminds me of Dirty Harry.

The revolver is looking at you while the guy is killing time. Great shot !

Ok I want to know this guy. He is a total throw back to the 80's and to me thats ultra cool. From this one shot I have a million ideas on who this person is. Nice work

I like this shot, like the wide-angle and the composition

A very strong composition, with these two poles : the glam guy and the gun pic.

Looks like he should be in a band from somewhere like Manchester perhaps.. hehe. Maybe a Smiths cover band.

Great composition with the wide angle lens. The inclusion of the gun back there lends an eerie vibe and balances the photo.. excellent work.

This could be that kid in the William Klein image of the child pointing the gun into the camera, ten years older. I also like the timelessness of it -- when is it? Could be yesterday, 1980, 1950. Wonderful.

Fabulous shot. The composition is really effective.

What a strong character! Excellent portrait, eyes looking away give him a detached air, and the background is perfect for him.

Hey Matt,

Your images of "Billy" and "Tracey" are very fine indeed: beautifully detailed and composed and each capturing a highly expressive moment. Slim's got an unforgettable face, that's sure.

I look forward to more postings from the TF shoot.
