Wes Namen
This is a piece from Wes Namen's "Lonely Man" series. When i first saw this image i thought it as funny. But when i looked deeper into the image i see how lonely the guy is with the variations of instant dinners the liter of alcohol. It brings the viewer deeper into the characters sadness. very depressing image because i feel like the guy lost everything.
this is a nice image by Namen (local in ABQ). Agreed that it is sad - but also a little funny. I don't know if I like the lighting in the scene or not, it takes me to a movie set, as though the scene is something greater than it would be in real life, or purposely staged. but i do like things about that as well.
ReplyDeletethanks!
This photo is lonely and depressing! This is such an archetype for a lonely alcoholic smelly guy! He hasn't completely lost everything, he's still got his trusty alcohol and his badass sweaty wife beater. Who knows maybe this is a face photo and this guy is a happy dude who has a hot wife.
