Chromogenic archival print, 40 x 60 in. Edition 5 of 15. This was a gate fold cover. This radical and sophisticated design of an extreme close-up of a red stop light is married with a solitary figure on a distant horizon ushers in a new era of Sci-Fi photography. Masterfully executed pre-photoshop, it's actually an in-camera multiple exposure that uses a Day for Night cinematographer's deep blue filter. It was done decades before color photography was considered fine art. Funk produced 20 covers for Modern Photography magazine in the 1970’s and 1980’s. His images were chosen by Modern Photography’s visionary editors Herbert Keppler and Ernest G. Scarfone. ( Yours truly is the model).
