My buddies are better than yours...: Julian Hibbard

Julian is a photographer friend of mine, who happens to be an impeccable gentleman, a super talent, and has a british accent to boot. It's not fair how some people get all the favors...haha. Here are few of my favorite images of his. Not all, but a sampling. They just so happen to be from a series he did a while back called "Caught", if I remember correctly.











This last one is not from that series but I love the sinister aura about his work. It's great because the man himself is the anti-thesis of sinister.
