Happy Day of the Dead—”Dia de los Muertos”. Hence the self-title of our selection shot by Colin Gallagher four years ago today. Vitals: Nikon D700 and 85mm f/1.4 lens, which is a helluva prime for portraits like this one. I picked the pic for bokeh, composition, and detail. Okay, for timing, too.
Colin is a two Flickr account holder, the older of which is abandoned. The link from his name goes to the active one of the two. But our selection comes from the other. With a little sleuthing, I confirmed that both belong to the same shooter. Colin first joined Flickr in April 2008. He reappeared in December 2012 after abandoning the first account.
Colin describes himself as “a photographer addicted to tattoos and rice noodles; avid user and lover of…Fujifilm X-Pro1 and Nikon FEs”. He “photographs anything he finds beautiful”. The B word describes his art, particularly portraiture and nature. See for yourself: Facebook; Instagram; Twitter; website. He lives in State College, Penn.—a lively university town. I spent summer of my 21st year there.
