Artist's Comments

This is the image used for the month of July 2006 in Men of the Melbourne Goth Forum, a 2006/2007 financial year calendar created to raise funds for the MGF (see http://www.gothic.org.au/forum). The model is forum member Jay666, and the location is the Witches in Britches theatre restaurant (which unfortunately burnt down a few weeks ago!).

The monochrome & selective colour PS work of my original image was by forum member ElvenNight who also did all the calendar layout work. The other member of the creative team was forum member MsMegMog who did all the legwork including obtaining sponsors to pay for the printing, and in this case obtaining permission to use the venue and the clothing worn by Jay.

For more on the calendar visit http://darkreflection.org/mgf0607 where you will find some unused images taken during the calendar shoots, a page of out-takes, and links to places where you can buy copies of the calendar.

Note: neither myself nor the others involved in the creation of the calendar recieve any financial reward for proceeds of sales. Our time and skills were volunteered to this project. The "models" were also not paid

It's about bloody time you updated your gallery a bit :halo:

And you all did a great job collectively :)...

I was wondering why he had a digital camera in his pic untill I heard how the photo was selected, then it made all that more sense

You know I think these turned out terrific, otherwise I wouldn't have bought a calandar and would have instead said "I'll get one later" :P

great shot, and :faint: that seat.... it would have burnt with the restaurant :cry: nooooo I've been trawling antique stores all over for something like it! dammit!

Jay looks nice and relaxed... the levels could have been a bit deeper in the blacks but it's hard to find a sweet point to not lose detail in his pvc clothing. +fav!

That's actually my film camera in the bottom of the shot ;)

Thanks Mark. And yes, the whole thing was a tragic loss ... and those couches are not easy to come by
:iconelffinarts:
do you know if they are rebuilding the restaurant?

Apparently they are
:iconelffinarts:
I hope they manage to find replacement furniture as nice as the gear that burned.

So I realised after hearing the story of how it was captured ;) Unless Jay666 suddenly developed a strong interest in SLR cameras :halo: :P
