Oh dude, Michel is my hero. I'm so very jealous of you right now. You have to please tell us more about the documentary. And that's such a cool picture of him too.
Posted by Dan at September 13, 2005 02:17 AMI wanted to see the Chappelle movie but had a conflict. My fave movie so far is Harsh Times.
Posted by Jonah at September 13, 2005 10:11 AMWhat kind of flash did you use? Did you soften it? Is that the stock Canon 50mm lens? Awesome shot!!

Wow! Awesome stuff, I just love the work of Michel Gondry! His music video collection is one of the three DVDs that I own. I really should have done some reading in to the festival this year, you're making me realise that I'm really missing out, Sam.
Posted by Hans in Toronto at September 13, 2005 12:41 PMYou've had some great shots from the festival this year. You're able to capture not just a person but their demeanour and feelings as well.
Not that all your photo's aren't amazing in themselves!
BTW, was the elusive Dave Chappelle at the premier?
Posted by A.S. at September 13, 2005 12:44 PMVery nice portrait. I especially like the motion and dof, not to mention the desaturation.
Posted by Abe at September 13, 2005 01:48 PMThe spent the evening with him and had to PEEL him off MANY women. He was pretty harmless though.
Michel Gondry is an out-right master. I love his work, especially Human Nature.
Posted by Chris at September 14, 2005 04:42 PMJasOn: I noticed you put a link to my site in your comments above. I just have to say that I am a huge admirer of Sam's photos, but as you can see that my photos and the my site design have no similarities to Sam's. I know you think that the name is similar, but yet it is very different. If you look at my about page, I give many thanks to Sam. Please do a little research before you get troll happy.

Noted. My words were: "could I have found an site name imposter of SAM?". ("COULD" and "?" represents curiousity and the fact is I was unsure) I did not write "this jerk is copying Sam." I did not deliberately try to insult your integrity or tarnish your image. Please forgive my ignorance on jumping to the conclusion.
I have apologized to you in today's post.(Sept 15). As an artist, you should learn to accept criticism about the name of your site (as I mentioned in your email). By the way, your site is excellent and you have some fantastic images. My images are hardly good, but I am enjoying the journey of learning photography.
My apologies go to Sam to be subjected to moderate these silly squabbles, both mine and Mike's.
Let's stay focussed on Sam's great work, shall we!
Hello. I love your now!
