Description
I wanted to do this shot for a long time...i am not sure why, but i am obsessed with water beads on smooth surfaces (cliche perhaps?)This is my web designer/assistant/friend/model/ personal DJ.....Greg. He obliges me and my wacked ideas.
I was going for a sleek, yet rough and contrasty piece.
This pic may come down if he is not pleased with its web presence.

I am rambling. But that is what I thought as soon as I saw this, and I giggled. Great job. The water beads are especially interesting.

What a great photo!!! The lightning is perfect, but what I like most of it, is the drops on the glasses, they add a wonderful strange texture to it, that little detail makes the photo unique, the model looks great too, the hair style and the expression is perfect.

Call me crazy (but I always try to find something religious/shamanistic in pictures)... but those droplets to me represent purity and the beard-mustache area represent impurity...
The googles are blocking the purity from his vision.

Don't take this down Lorraine, no matter how high Greg jumps
Because this one kewl photo. The B/W, the pose, the tuff expression, the goggles ... everything is just ... perfect.

Great concept, Lorraine.
The shot is as you mentioned, both sleek and rough.
I think the water effect on the goggles is quite stunning. I also like the lighting in this one.
Greg's ruggedness definitely adds the roughness to this one. Tell him he's one tough guy
Superb work.

It is a really neat image. I think the best part is that because of the kind of goggles you used and the water effect, he looks kinda like he has bug eyes. It's a neat idea and you followed through with a nice looking image.

This reminds me of "the fly" in many ways, the style the goggles are in etc, very nice, the b&w adds to the effect!

Great, What really hit me with this picture, is that it is really smooth and the lightning is amasking. Great work.... again

The droplettes on the smooth surface need to be much emphasized. Otherwise, I like the concept

DAAAmn I like this shot, I see your fetish with water + glass, it's cliche but who gives a flying fuck.
The roughness of his face + the gollges would normally contrast but the smooth on smooth of glass and water gives a rough effect and it all blends... I really like this shot!

I like how dark the piece is, and just the hair and the textures and things! nice shot. especially since it's b&w makes me love it more

The contrast, the textures of Greg's facial features, hair, and the surface of the goggles, the excellent lighting and the shadows all combine to make this a dynamic image. You two work very well together

The structure of his face--very strong--is perfect in this shot I love how the water beads shine against the black. I love all of the details--so crisp--in this shot.
