Description Sometimes, we just fade away.

Model: German G. (the brother)

Camera: Canon AE-1
Film: Kodak Gold 200

No digital manipulation. Just a slow shutter speed.

EDIT: Ok, so after many months after posting this. I looked at it again and decided that the light that was coming from the right side of the image was way to distracting. I am much more pleased with this composition.

EDIT 2: 1/29/11 HOLY FREAKIN' CRAP!! A DD!! daaaayuummm! I can honestly say, I'd never thought I'd see the day. Thanks to ^ScENeYmE and ^Kaz-D for the suggestion and feature and to anyone else involved. I looked at my inbox today and thought, "WTF?? why are there so many messages??" Maybe now I'll shoot more often.

EDIT 3: 9/11/11 After such an overwhelming response and the fact that I found the scanned file the original deviation came from, I submitted a much higher resolution of the image. Maybe one of these days I'll find a good 11x17 scanner to make a better scan of it.

Nice concept... Fading in and out of existence in attempts to change the ultimate fate of someone you have no control over.

we all feel at times as we know we are alive because we are treading the earth but as we do not have a good or a bad reason to live .... feel like you're not there ....
I like the image!

FuzzyLogicFlowers [2011-01-30 04:08:46 +0000 UTC]

When I first saw this I thought you had used multiple exposures or layers with some heavy digital editing, but after a second look neither really seemed right. After reading the description, I'm just amazed that you got something so clean with a slow shutter speed.
Love, just love it.

This is a frame trick, you moved before the camera could get finish making your body fully detailed.

Wanako In reply to Soaked-in-Matter [2011-03-28 12:37:56 +0000 UTC]

the only editing that was done was to repair the colors from the scan and I cropped out a nasty light that was at the very edge of the frame that I didn't like.
