Description
So much charachter in his face, you can bet he spent a good lot of his life smiling
I have been to a few rallies where this guy didnt show up.
After i took [link] this summer, i never saw him again.
Im glad i had a chance to take his picture again
He was protesting with two signs, the first saying "give peace a chance" and the second was a yellow submarine.
Great guy, amazing sense of life, and a beatles fan

I love the way you always seem to manage to capture a person's essence with your camera. It is a real gift you have

Thanks so much! I love hearing that compared to the "nice shot's"
I definitely set out to capture essences

If all I can say to someone's photo is 'nice shot' I won't say anything at all.

Yeah, sometimes its all you can say, even I am guilty.. but I usually spice it up with an exclaimation point or two

The exclamation points add drama

I love this shot, thank you for posting it! I realize most digital people are concerned with whites and blacks but i think this would look better with a little more contrast, that being said, this is an excellent shot!

Amazing picture. The expression and pose... is so natural and great.
I melt my brains thinking WHERE do you get these people??? all i see around are angry or "donΒ΄t bother me" people all around. DonΒ΄t know why, but i feel there is no life really happening out in my street.
Please tell me!
Again, really amazing shot! im glad i started shooting photos. Wish i can take one like this one day.

Usually just at public gatherings, they are there to be seen, so they usually dont mind about getting pictures taken. Sometimes if you are trying to shoot homeless people, a 6inch sub from subway is usually the best bet. I get turkey/ham with veggies and that covers all the basics, and is quite healthy.. and costs like $4 or so

Im going to check the public gathering stuff. Seems like a really cool place to safari!!
Thx for the advice

mmmm... this portrait is really wonderful! He seems to be so satisfied with his life and all the things he has/had done
Somehow all this things are coming out of this picture when looking at it. But I would not be able to name them. Just feel them
..wonderful!

yep, he sure does look like he's smiled alot. im not worried about wrinkling, it just is a way to tell my story on my fave :3 and it does add character.
very nicely balanced here.

Good shot, what I like most is the face on the background

It was one of those things that just fell into place. I think thirds would have looked too empty if he wasnt there.

he Looks so at peace, and Like he's Loving what he's doing!
