Here, in a series of images, we compare my original of a diagonal sliver of light barely revealing my friend Lynne’s face with my friend Hal’s later concept image for a book cover:
My 1974 original – as used in my final Emissions book (Note: a tightly-cropped version, approximating Hal’s version, was used for the now-superseded, early prototype of the book)
My original, recropped and repositioned to match Hal’s cover concept
My original, re-cropped, using Hal’s concept cover at 80% opacity as a guide
Hal’s 2024 concept cover (at 100% opacity)
! And be sure to catch some of Hal’s wonderful work at FOTOWRX and myerstreet!
