Adem Tesfaye
September 17, 2007 | 05 Ramadhan 1428

I met Adem while living in Madison. I believe it was at Restaurant Magnus, where he was performing. Adem is a striking character, especially for me, as he’s one of the only people that I know personally who’s significantly taller than I am. But despite his great height, his feet are down to earth. We had talked about doing some shots for his CD before leaving Madison and I happened to have dinner with him and some friends of his the day before I was moving from Madison to Philadelphia. I shot this in his backyard. Adem now lives in New York City, pursuing his musical career. Canon 10D. ISO 200. Hand-held, available light.
