Dave Martin


The Stanford University Center for Art does not name the model in this Dave Martin 
photo from their collection.  Am I the only one who thinks it might be Mike Sill?

  1. That is one backdrop.

  2. Well, well, well! I checked my Mike Sill photos and indeed it is him. In addition, that backdrop has been added later, and, further still, the copy I have has been signed and dedicated to Dave Martin! The dedication reads: "To Dave Martin, a great Photographer, and a sincere friend. Wishing you the very best in all your endeavours in your field of photography. Sincerely, Mike Sill". I'll send you a copy, Jerry, as I'm sure you'd be interested.

    1. I wonder if Stanford U. knows their photo has been altered? And I'm very pleased to have your version, thank you!

  3. Mike Sill in a dramatic, graceful pose set against a dramatic added backdrop.
    The original photograph by Dave Martin is more subdued, this image is more striking with its dramatic license. :)

    1. I'm left wondering if Mr. Martin did this himself, or if someone came along later and altered it.
