World Series of Dice 2

My submission for

 

48hrmag.com

 

The theme, Hustle, was announced Friday ayt 12 noon as I was on my way to Lake Tahoe for the weekend. Jodi and I brainstromed on the drive up and this was the photo idea we settled on. I envisioned a back alley, tough to find in North Lake Tahoe, with a brick wall and some Hustlers shooting dice. The brick worked out. We sourced some dice fairly easily at a local game shop. We started shooting at around 8 PM.

 

Jodi is throwing the dice and the pair of legs in the background belong to a female passerby on her way out from a shift at a restaurant next door to our location.

 

D: Hey, how are you doing

Passerby: Fine

D: Would you mind if I took your photo really quick?

P: That's a really random question

D: Yea, I'm working on a shoot right over here, it will only take a minute or two

P: Ok, I guess

D: I'm just shooting your legs and feet, stand over there please.

P: Umm. I like how y'all have that pile of money.

D: Yea, this is our set. Like it? Jodi, roll 'em up

D: (Snap, snap, snap)

P: Cool, can I see?

D: Sure

P: That looks totally rad, y'all have a good night
