Another shot from the same music video I used in my November free study.

Me n' some buddies spent three days making a music video. This is the musician and the director, Sean.

Great story telling image. I really like this....it is understated, which I find really appealing.

This reminds me of the film noir challenge. I really like the muted olors and the plaid jacket, lol. (voted earlier)

Now ok, didn't see the gun, until I scrolled down. A bit disturbing.

I guess that's what you wanted us to feel.

Not sure I can fully equate the attire with my perception of a manifesto writer, but I like the execution and thought process, bumping up.

Interesting shot. The pistol adds a level of seriousness to the image. Interesting that he's using a typewriter (looks like an electric one) rather than a computer. And, of course, the nod to the drink of the world - coffee (or at least a coffee cup). I like that this is cropped so his nose and eyes are not visible, which makes it a much more generic shot than if it showed a full face.

Intriguing. I think I would prefer the gun to be closer to the mug because it's out of focusness is slightly distracting.

im not getting the story you are trying to tell.

I'm not quite sure what to make of this. Old typewriter, old suit... new coffee cup (and too clean!) and I don't know much about guns at all but that looks plastic-y. I know that this image is trying to tell me a story, I think it's about 'suits' making policies that are forced on the majority, but I'm not sure if it pulls it off convincingly. I'll stop rambling now...

I'm not entirely sure that nutcases writing manifestos wear a coat and tie but it gives it an interesting noir aspect. I do like the typewriter. That does seem fitting to non-geek manifesto-writing types.

Horrible story but great photography. Touching and the typewriter a great addition

Interesting set-up, makes me curious as to what's going on here; I can't fathom it out but I like it. Nice tones and lighting, I don't normally care for a through-the-face crop but it works here.

Not bad, but the focus seems a bit off, I would have it on his hands or mouth rather than on the coffee cup. Also, I like the dim lighting coming from what I assume is a window, but a bit of fill lighting, for the gun and the right side of the typewriter would have been better.
