Description there are people in this town -- this town being los angeles because even hollywood is referred to by the associated press as the "hollywood section of los angeles" -- who are always ... ON.

yes, i'd consider jamie foxx as always on ... or over-the-top ...

but ... he's nice. he's cool.

he always gives me something interesting.

something that will perhaps syndicate way beyond how long the weeklies and monthlies are interested...

and ... my leicas are really starting to feel like the girlfriend you're tired of ...

because this 85/1.2L ...

i see the photos i'd normally get with a 75/2.0 leica apo 'cron asph ...

and i get them with this.

hmm...

canon e1dm2. 85/1.2L. about 1/500th at f/1.2. 800 iso. converted to b/w in ps cs with custom actions for channel mixing. bumped cont. adj. levels.

He's a cool character, but i will never be able to view him as a serious actor, I blame in living color for that and the tons of funny characters he played (i.e. Wanda). Another awesome picture

Just a tiny bit dark but still a great shot. Great use of dof. Sometimes I really wish I could get my apeture as low as F1.2.

Great photo! I love your work - you inspire me.

Do you use a fixed focus lens when you go out on photo shoots like this? Or do you use a telephoto?

JF is one cool cat. i remember seeing him live, doing stand-up, about 10 years ago in SF, in a little club in the famous pier area. was suave and smooth back then and that does not seem to have changed up much.

oh, by the way...very nice shot!

aw man, for a poor lil amature like me, what a dream it would be to own either of those two lens' u speak of... my best lens atm is a 100-300mm f4-5.6 not even USM... and i felt privaleged to own a 350D...
great photo, i envy and idolise you, i love your attitude towards celebrity photography, and the respect you have for them!
great shot this...
