Alain Comeau in North Conway, NH, 2002 |
Shortly after buying my Canon 1Ds in 2002 I started the
series Monumental Heads. That’s the $8,000 11-megapixel
piece of kit that lured me back into photography after a dozen years immersed
in business endeavors, some successful, and the mid-80s committed to distance running and triathlons.
In the late spring of 2002 when I came back from a ski
safari in France with Ian Cruickshank I took notice of Edward Weston’s theory of using the sky as a background
and took it quite to heart. The first in series was of either Alain Comeau or John
Snyder, both accomplished men with wide ranging talents.
On reflection I think the first victim was the very French man for all
seasons, M. Comeau. Last I heard Alain was sailing the Caribbean with his
latest squeeze.

Love this blog. Love your commentary. I want to say "heady stuff" but that would denigrate what is obviously mastery of your art form, so I won't. Excellent work, amigo.
I would like to see these on a wall, six feet tall, along with others like them!
Aw shucks.
