AIDS Memorial

i was asked to provide a photo montage that would play behind a solo performance of Bryan Adams 'Heaven'. to help provide context, to place the viewer 'in the scene', my good friend Tonya, confidant and occasional muse, shared the experience with me.

late one October morning, a bright, cool day with the sun low in the sky, not usually a photographers ideal lighting. as I wondered how this would work out, i allowed the sense and feeling of this memorial to still and calm my soul. the answer came to me - high contrast black and white.
