Description

I've known Corey for years...I've seen him in his underwear...I've cleaned houses (not our own) with him, and have discovered the multitude of uses for duct tape from him. He's a fellow writer and photographer, and has an impressive number of journals patched and re-patched with duct tape. I suspect he's building a small home out of the stuff as well. In addition, he's now posting on Renderosity; his gallery is listed simply under CoreyBlack, and you should definitely pop over there and take a look. He's new here, but he's already off to a great start here. As always, thank you for looking, reading, and commenting on this and my past posts...yeah, and thanks to Corey for sitting there, staring at a snow-filled TV screen, when all he really wanted to do was change shirts.

Stunning portait! I don't know Corey but from his work here and this amazing shot I feel I do. We have to wonder what he's thinking gazing off into the distance: Bemused, concerned, wistful - there's no definite answer. This is masterful. Great work

Hey, I know that face! I feel extremely vain commenting on a picture of myself, but I'll have to admit it's always interesting to see how someone else perceives you. Nice work as always. There's something about the color scheme that reminds me of one of those old Che Guevara posters. (Did I spell his name right?) Thanks for making me famous; it's a good shot.

I'm going to check out Corey's gallery—sometime this morning or day for sure—and this portrait is beautiful and thoughtful. The two-colored background (there are several colors up close, but we feel two) is a good backdrop to capture the many sides of a person; you caught some of the amber hue on his face; and his posture is gentle, looking out into the world and yet self-contained. Fine work Chip. And I like his reaction too. (Hard to react to a picture of yourself: Whaddya gonna say? "God, that guy's good looking!") And yes, there's a touch of the old Che posters, from the early days: a revolutionary with eyes of compassion. Next upload, you should post some of the duct tape...

I don't know Corey yet, but from the portrait I'm imagining a sensitive crazy genius of likely Eastern European ancestry; and even if it isn't true it's fun to speculate. A wonderful capture, Chip!

Hey! Long time, no see! So glad you're back! This is a great return, too, a fantastic portrait. So very expressive, and fascinating color-scheme.

I like the colour lighting of this scene and how they merge around Corey like the land and the sea (or indoors and outdoors perhaps) and bridging both worlds. Duct tape: No doubt Corey would enjoy the Red Green Show.
