Phil Hilfiker

A dear friend and a great drummer/percussionist and all-around musician (www.mathiaskunzli.com) in Boston's 'emerald necklace' - the Fens.
(May 1998)

When you are trying to break into the business as a young musician you find yourself more often than not taking on all kinds of roles out of necessity (i.e. lack of money to hire professionals.. ;): being your own booking agent, taking care of PR and marketing, graphic designer, and as in this case, photographer.

This photo stems from a shoot with a mutual friend's camera where we took turns taking photos of each other in order to be able to send some shots to newspapers and include in various project portfolios.

This is a slight treatment of a shot digitized at a regular photo lab. A little dark for my current taste, but I'm content with the fact that it correctly transmits a quiet, reflective aspect of my friend's personality.
