Forever 27. Happy birthday and R.I.P.

[DanOstergren]

I've posted some photos from this shoot here before, but I hadn't edited or shared this shot until recently and I thought Kurt's 50th birthday would be appropriate to share this photo. This is from a shoot I did last year in tribute to Kurt Cobain. Happy 50th birthday to someone who will forever be 27.

Lighting is from a single window on a rainy day. EOS 5D Classic, EF 85mm f/1.8 lens set to f/3.2, 1/160th sec, ISO 500.

Nicely done and just the right mood. So, you shot this last year or processed it? He would be looking well preserved for 23 years gone. Or, another person "in the style of" him?

Speaking of birthdays, Happy Birthday to another great: Ansel Adams.

Thank you. I shot it last year, but only edited it recently. The model is a Portland based performer/party host who really embodies Kurt's look, with his own flare. Today would be Kurt Cobain's 50th birthday.

Thank you. Me as well, mainly because it usually doesn't cost hundreds/thousands of dollars to use the light.

I honestly had NO IDEA that Kurt and Ansel and I shared the same birthday, Feb 20. but it makes total sense to me.

Very nicely done. I can't believe he'd be that age.

Happy belated birthday!

It's hard to picture him any other way.
