The Mono Master does it again....  Simple, but effective. |

Nicely seen picture, Gene. It stirred something in the back of my mind - not because there's anything wrong with the picture, I like it a lot and the composition of the film and the shadows is great, but I get a vague feeling of deja-vu.
It's so reminiscent of a high-contrast still-life style of advertising pictures in the UK in the 1960s which caused a lot of debate and correspondence in photo mags because the traditional pictorialists and the chocolate box top imitators with their endess pictures of kittens or babies on velvet cushions didn't like it.
Eventually the style died because almost every photographic club in the country did it to death with exhibitions of inferior imitations so it lost its initial impact.
I expect it will be rediscovered and come round again on DVD covers or somewhere. High contrast black and white seems to be nudging out colour there on covers for horror and 'middle earth' movies, and some of the more way-out rock bands. All very 'new' - except that it isn't.
