Four Pack, Chandler, Arizona, 2014

I framed this bartender at a local barbeque restaurant through still another frame, provided by an interior window. That window displays the restaurant’s barbeque sauces, along with a poster advertising them, and provides a more dimensional “picture within a picture.” The softly focused back wall, featuring neon advertisements and beer dispensers, intensifies the feeling of depth. The only problem I faced was distracting color, caused by the bizarre blue and purple lighting in the bar area. By converting this image to black and white, I was able to remove these colors and allow my viewers to see the bartender and his unique environment without distraction.
