"Four Horseman of the Apocalypse"
Paul Pfeiffer. 2001. Digi C-Prints.
Born in Hawaii. Lives in NYC.
I love the title- Four Horseman of the Apocalypse: it's a historical reference to the woodcuts of Albrecht Durer, an innovator in the field of representation of the figure study (AND the creator of the famous 'praying hands' design I love so much). It also refers to the biblical story of the four horsemen who appear at the time of the apocalypse.
Paul went through NBA photo archives/video footage from TV/ his own video footage to find the perfect stills. He then edited out some of the noise to create these golden moment images. Check him at work:
