Artist's Comments

January 21st
Amsterdam, The Netherlands

Unknown

After taking a 10-day break off from my eurotrip, recovering from sickness, I picked up my backpack and stepped back out into the big world - first stop Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

After walking around for a while, enjoying the constant smell of weed around every streetcorner, I saw this guy standing in line in front of a butcher - apparently the meat was worth a wait.

I considered for a moment and decided to stand around, pretending that I was admiring some architectural work, waiting for this guy to get back out of the shop. A couple of minutes later, he came back out, and I hunted him down.

Turned out to be an extremely friendly guy - laughed hard when I asked him if I could take his portrait, and laughed even harder when he asked why, and I replied 'because you have a unique face'.

If you see this guy in Amsterdam, buy the man a beer - he deserves it.

Hmm.

Something is up with this piece.

I think his face seems really 2-dimensional. It seems to be floating above his body. I think it's because of the lighting, although it may just be his beard.

Overall, though, another great shot.

You're pins, I'm needles, let's play.

I cannot pretend I will not surrender to these dreams in my head.

The moon is dark and I can't sleep

I've been looking forward to see your portraits so bad.
Great job, as always, Lasse.

Haha, I kinda see what you mean... It's probably the beard, cause it kinda goes all the way around his head, creating a line between that and the rest of the photo...

Thanks though :giggle:

Lovely as per usual Nully But hang on! That beard is whiter than the ice queen herself. Maybe a scootch too much on the dodging? (or burning, never can remember which is which)

Anyway, I send this man a digital larger :beer:

The beard is pretty damn bright, admitted, but it was in reality - and according to my monitor and the histogram in Photoshop, it isn't completely burnt out - so I'm safe :giggle:

And I actually never dodged it, but I tried burning it to make it darker!
