Mr Young
My very good friend, Mikey Young is a remarkable man. I enjoyed photographing him one day at the back of a house in St Kilda East. The photo was so good I decided to turn it into a poster for his birthday which was soon. It showed Mikey stretching his arms above his head and I used this image to create a movie poster with the title “Mr Young”. He is from Adelaide so I used a sky from Adelaide as the backdrop for the poster and in the credits I put the names of myself and Mikey’s good friends. When he received the poster a few weeks after his birthday (it took a while to get it printed and mounted correctly) he was very pleased and flattered that his friends went to such an effort. He carried it home and was rained on, sadly the poster was damaged. He was very sad and asked if I could make another. Which I did.
I hear that every day when people come to visit Mr Young they all see the poster and are amazed. I think Mr Young is very proud of the gift we made for him.
