Alex Machinegun Kelly


I've been scanning some old work in hopes of putting together a better portfolio and stubbled across this gem. I try and always work in a series or create images that work well with one another. This diptych I was really pleased with. I think there is a huge difference between an interesting subject and and interesting photo and here atlest I hope people look at with a facination. The calm expression on the left of an adolescent boy juxtaposed with the rage and unexpected violence on the right. Kind of reminds me of a zombie movie where the scarest people who get turned are always the little girl or grand parents it never is expected that there could be such anger in them but then wam a second later there blood thirsty brain eaters. I also like how this is one of a kind and cant be duplicated. Even the negatives were ruin by the cyanotype process so it makes it really special.
