Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki - a photo on Flickriver

            This is the first part of a concept series I am finally starting thanks to the prompting of the DEDPXL08 assignment.

This particular concept was borne out of reading the novel "Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and His Years of Pilgrimage" by Haruki Murakami. If you have not read Murakami's work, he is excellent at drawing out an atmosphere in such a way as I have never read before. I was inspired by his work to create my own interpretation of a scene from the end of the novel, with some creative liberties taken.

Major help both in creative and modeling departments from Peter Longno, tagged in photo. Please check out his work, he is an amazing photographer.

Strobist:
Backfill/rim - PCB E640 on camera left, behind subject ~15 degrees and 20 yards. 1/64 power with a 20 degree grid in reflector.
Ambient at train station for all other light.
Triggered with Pocket Wizard MiniTT1 and PowerMC2.
