Yes, it’s yours truly… taken with the assistance of my friend, Andy. His portrait will be up in the next few days. I’m on the fence on this one. The composition doesn’t really work all that well for me, I don’t think. I’d like your feedback. And of course, the subject is, well, questionable, of course.
And if you’re curious, this was taken on the balcony/deck off our second story master suite. Because we have some bikes hanging below the deck, we needed a way to keep rain from soaking them. So yes, that’s a shower curtain nailed down to the deck. Yes, I grew up in a redneck-rich region, so in a way I could be considered one myself. It was my idea, after all.
But the idea for the deck was the idea of the previous owner. They put the door in and the deck, but failed to anchor the deck or support it properly. So when we moved in, a crew had to come out and make sure it was up to code, which included installing a new door.
I don’t usually post links to other photographers or photoblogs, but the portraiture of Judith Joy Ross is gorgeous.

Where are your shoes?

He ain’t got no shoes…he be a redneck!
I’m surprised he even managed socks…

If he’d been wearing sandals with those socks I’d say he was Canadian.
I like the portrait, but I think the right of centre orientation of the the subject upsets the compostion a bit.

I agree, Miles.

maybe the camera could’ve been positioned higher and angled down slightly to show the subject a little lower in the frame and more of the trees. i’m not sure, but that is my gut reaction. you have excellent work!
