I shall try to post a pic or two every now and then..today I am going to show you a few shots that I have submitted to the AOP‘s
red dot auction in aid of photovoice.. a very good cause, and a site well worth checking out.
Above is a shot I took of young Russian sailors filing past the coffins of Kursk sub mariners. Picture was taken at the St.Petersburg naval academy, a year and a half after the Kursk disaster. The last bodies had finally been pulled up. I shot the story for M magazine, a sorely missed mag that was a pleasure to work for. As usual however all the mono work was unpublished. The above pic I like for its combination of movement and stillness, and how it hopefully asks you to contemplate the future of the sailors you can see. I don’t like talking about aesthetics when it’s a shot like this however..it was a tragic story and I shall never forget the distress and anger of the widows.
If you wish to see more from the set, please go to nospin

This is a great shot David … its interesting how you couldn’t imagine it to be shot in anything but black and white … but maybe that’s just lack of imagination on my part!
