Frame straight out from a Noir reel
Posted by Fred (Manila, Philippines) on 6 November 2009 in Documentary & Street and Portfolio.
Film noir is a cinematic term used primarily to describe stylish Hollywood crime dramas, particularly those that emphasize cynical attitudes and sexual motivations. Film noir of this era is associated with a low-key black-and-white visual style that has roots in German Expressionist cinematography.

While taking this shot, films like Sin City, The Pledge, and The Dark Knight came to mind. I thought it was appropriate for the scene. I hope you like it. :)
Comments and suggestions will be greatly appreciated. :)
Remember.. you're a wreck,
An accident, forget the freak you're just nature.
Keep the gun oiled and the temple clean,
S***, snort and blaspheme.
Let the heads cool and the engine run.
Because in then end...
Everything we do,
Is just everything we've done.
