Time Out New York: Jorge Garcia

sg
This week's "Hot Seat" subject for Time Out New York is Lost's Jorge Garcia.

Having never seen even a single frame of the show, I couldn't make any specific Lost references. So I went for a fairly generic background, but one that I still thought had some visual interest.

I had considered getting cute and putting the background in a "Wish You Were Here"-type postcard (scalloped edges and all), but without the ability to add text, I figured that probably wouldn't have worked all that well.

But in the end I'm glad I went this way--I like the contrast of the foreground and the background, and I thought this turned out to be one of my better TONY portraits of late.
