Everyonce in a while I'll dig through all of the images I've taken over the years and sure enough, when I take the time I usually find a gem that I haven't posted.
This was from last fall while I was wandering downtown shooting random stuff as I like to do. This guy on the corner asked me for money. I said I'd give him 2 bucks if I could take his picture. "Fill your boots." was his answer if I do recall.
Initially he was a litte uncomfortable, but he got my cash, and once we chatted some, he loosened up. I think eventually he got a bit of a kick out of it, as people were walking by looking at him while some guy was firing off 40 or 50 shots of his mug..... you know, photoshoot style. =)
Anyway, as far as I'm concerned.... 2 bucks well spent.
Great photo... very nice. A lot of character in his face. And nice that you took the time to get to know his story. Respect.
