So much to say about this one but am afraid of falling short in relaying the full experience of what we are looking at. On a technical side, it is worth noting this was all lit, directed and shot in a single photograph. No compositing, extremely minimal retouching, what you see is essentially what the raw image looked like.

The challenge of that task given the many other restraints of using a cameraphone can't be understated. For those interested in hearing more about that, message me directly as I don't think the minutiae of f-stops and shutter speeds are all that interesting to most viewers.

More importantly, the human element required for such a production is what I will remember but also deserves a different venue to really get into the meat and potatoes of it all.

At the end of the day, I am thankful beyond words for the people who provided the opportunity to make this happen. The risk involved on their end must have seemed great and yet they put faith in me to take it, this is heartwarming to say the least.

I am forever indebted to the people who put in the countless hours of work and patience necessary to carry out this vision, you all are the absolute best.
