Penny for your thoughts ©
I am trying to expand my horizons + work with people. This is Phil Carlson, one of my friends from the gym. He’s workin’ on 4 hrs. sleep here so I know his thoughts without the penny!

Thanx Neil! This is my graffiti summer, much more to soon! We had to be up very early on a Sunday to get the light under this viaduct. Poor Phil only got 4 hrs. sleep.

Great shot, congrats on the feature, poor guy’s asleep on his feet!

Wow really? I didn’t even think he was posing, it looks very natural, like you caught him having a little rest.

superb job here, every thing about this image is perfect
Arlene Zapata in reply to jegustavsen’s comment, about 1 month ago
Not every one there looks like Phil, who is 40ish [a guess]. The ones that do are in their 20s + a different breed. ;>)

Thanx dairygirl! I don’t usually work w/people. Glad you are impressed! :>)
Thanx for all your faves too!

Cool shot great concept. Great art
Arlene Zapata in reply to WayneD’s comment, about 1 month ago
Thanx Wayne! It wasn’t a concept to start out. I think the title just makes it so. Glad you like it!

Wow! Glad you are expanding your horizons! Whatever his thoughts, the shot is just perfect. He makes a great model. Love the contemplative mood and the great graffiti background.
Mel Brackstone, about 1 month ago
Wonderful shot, he’s looking exhausted, but attractive with it! Lovely lighting on his body.
Arlene Zapata in reply to Mel Brackstone’s comment, about 1 month ago
Thanx so much Mel! The natural light is only there, under the viaduct from 6:30 am to 7:30 am. Phil was a BIG sweetie to keep his promise + meet me after being out so late!
Arlene Zapata in reply to LetThemEatArt’s comment, about 1 month ago
Thanx LTEA! Now if I just had the confidence to ask more people to model…THis was Phil’s 1st time modeling.
Arlene Zapata in reply to JanG’s comment, about 1 month ago
Thanx so much Jan. He was tired + uneasy modeling for the 1st time. He will appreciate your comments too!
Michael J Armijo, about 1 month ago
GREAT pic and subject…i love how you captured him with eyes closes…as if it was a candid shot and you just spotted him in a random ‘deep in thought’ mode. I look forward to finding my pc when I arrive in CA on Wednesday. ;)
Arlene Zapata in reply to Michael J Armijo’s comment, about 1 month ago
THANX Michael! For the visit + Fave! The candid look is what made this one the best of the shoot. The pc is a oldie but goodie. Have a safe trip home!

hope you are asking more then a penny for this shot, because it is very good, like the graffiti and his pose, together a very relaxed shot:)

This is just perfect Arlene! I am so glad you started doing portraits. Love the model, the colours & the pose! Well done!

Thanx Mariaan! I want to do one of my friend Cora, wearing my GrandMa’s Kimono, at a japanese garden in the Fall. Will keep you posted!

the street art is a great contrast and compliment to the flesh tones. i like the way the light is leaking in from the right. well done.

Thanx so much James! You should be an art critic, you always have such well worded + thoughtful, observant things to say!
