You Should Know. Brooklyn, NY (2011)
This winter my friend Zac was working in Red Hook when his wrist acquired a serious gash from a Japanese pull saw. As Zac is averse to ER visits, he opted to sew up the wound up with fishing line and some help from a friend in my living room. I made this image about a month later once the wound had a chance to heal.
This is remarkable, i wanted to comment that the cut split the O like an egg, cracking down his wrist. It is really an incredible gesture with the curled fingers, the arch of the thumb - these things create lots of interesting shadow depth. In this way the background is perfect, a reflection of skin to be sure.
