Test shooting for "100"

I've always wanted to make a portrait of my friend and world renowned tattoo artist Mike Skiver. When I decided to proceed forward "100", I knew I wanted Mike to be one of the subjects and this afternoon I stopped by his tattoo museum to do see if he was interested. He is, and we're working on setting up an appointment this week. I grabbed a quick test shot of Mike (which isn't a very good photo seeing as how there are frames directly behind his head), and I also used a photoshop curve sent to me by John Setzler to give the black and white just a hint of warmth. Thanks, John!

I'm already in love with this project and can't wait to begin shooting in earnest soon. Hopefully I'll be able to post Mike's official "100" portrait in a few days.
