Me the paparazzi ... Sean Lennon photographed using a 1959 Canon P, 1951 Canon RF 35mm f2.8 with optional viewfinder. Film was Kodak NC400.
UPDATE:
I took a few pictures of him and I like this one the most. The partially obscured face on the right doesn't bother me. I like it as a candid. The focusing, exposure, expression seem pretty spot on no matter none of them is automatic. I like the fact that my estimate is on the ball park and somehow captured the moment. The 35mm lens doesn't prevent me from getting a close up picture. Really getting close on foot is important. Yes, I am touting my own horn.
Picture taken outside the two tents in Bryant Park where Fashion Week 2010 was taking place.
He does look rather iconic in that get-up, but please excuse my ignorance, I really don't have a clue who Sean Lennon is without googling. (I probably would die of shame and embarrrassment now once I googled and found out who he is).
ReplyDeleteAnyway, great capture!
Ah yes, I just googled and I now see, entirely as I suspected given his surname. I'd go and crawl back under my rock now (btw, how DO you manage to recognise him without a name tag? Or is he meant to be a familiar face state-side?)
ReplyDeleteI remember John Lennon singing the song "Beautiful Boy" I think it's a tribute to his son Sean. And that is him. It's quite a lovely song. Yoko Ono is really a legi artist but her career is overshadowed by John and their relationship. Sean Lennon I really don't know much about his career other than being the son of John. I sure recognize his face but I am not sure others recognize him.
ReplyDeletePerhaps you are just too young. ha ha.
