One last image from my recent shoot with Justine. I like mages where faces are partially obscured, and the power of eyes carries the image.

The Right Gear
I noticed this young photographer on the subway yesterday. He was equipped with a Canon SLR and what appeared to be a manual focus lens, likely a 50mm or 35mm. What I noticed more than the camera and though was his eyes: he was looking at everything, noticing everything, and in his mind framing every possible shot. Without ever seeing an image of his, I am quite confident that his photography would be good.
He had the right gear; and I don’t mean his camera, I mean his eyes and awareness which transcend whatever camera he had in his hands.
The Eyes
Another Hipstamatic on the subway. I recommend click on the photo to go to flickr, then view the large size, and see his eyes. They are either looking at me, or through me. I’m not quite sure.
The Eyes Don’t Always Have It
If both sets of eyes had been open, the image would have worked. If one set had been closed, the image would not have worked. With both sets of eyes closed, I think this image works!
Story and Mystery
This has to be my favourite portrait I’ve taken so far this year, and it’s all because of her eyes and how they tell a story (“she is looking at something”) and yet preserve a mystery (“but what is she looking at?”). Kudos to model Emily for gifting me with such an expression!!
