David Fateman - Bike Mule / Studio
August 12, 2007
Nice. These New Yorkers amaze me daily. Check them out on YouTube... you'll see some stuff that will make your eyes churn, and make you want to lose your lunch. Trust me. Mad Respect, David - I love the hard edged grittiness (read: reality) of this one. I almost wish the spokes poking over the right shoulder were really the spikes they at first appear to be. Hell, I'll just keep on believing they are. :)

good picture... i like the darkness in this shot. how to take real looking pictures of real people in a studio? heck, if i'd know... eventhough david and his job are real, it doesnt look real... to bad. still a good shot.

Awesome!!! Reminds me of that one with the microphone from end of April... your black and white photos always have so much dynamic! Great work Bill.

Hardcore. Can't imagine doing this kind of job in the sweltering days of August. Or frigid February, for that matter. All of which your photo evokes. One more time: hardcore.

it looks like a stylistic comic book. cool.

I think there is too much bike in the shot and not enough mule - even though it is a nice bike. I would have also like to have seen more of his face - it looks like half of NY city streets have been etched upon it. The sweat on the shirt also looks 'sprayed' on. Sorry to be picky but I guess I'm envious because I would have loved for you to do a similar shot of me. Naked.

Bill wanted to do a naked shot but I thought it might be a bit gratuitous. Great shot Wadman! And this andrea poster. What a kiiiiiiler voice. -D

Great "ACTION" here, It's got some texture
