This is the work of Michael Mann, one of the brilliant directors of our generation. He's the man who brought us The Last of the Mohicans, Heat, Ali, Miami Vice and the upcoming Public Enemies starring Johnny Depp and Christian Bale (and mind you, these two actors just don't work with ANYBODY). The thing about him is how much he dictates the style of photography in his movies. I can tell from a mile away that it's Michael Mann feature. Strictly composed and raw to it's core. Stills were taken from Collateral, starring Tom Cruise and Jamie Foxx.

The thing about inspiration is that you can get it anywhere. One of them places where I get mine are movies. I think it's cool that technology permits me to watch movies on my computer. Or anywhere actually. I have a pretty extensive movie collection and I'm really proud of it to be honest. I never delete my movies, even when I get bored of them. I have this bad habit of watching movies till late at night, or just until the trams start moving.
