Description I've made a few frames of this guy previously, and so has a friend of mine, *turtlespooon ( which is here [link] )

So when I was shooting an event and spotted him across the street, I went and said hello, gave him a few bucks, and asked if I could make a few more frames.

You may remember him from: Nothing better than a new suit

Beautiful. I am collecting B&W photos of the elderly in a file in my faves. This just has to belong. Thank you for sharing your skill, talent, and vision with us.

I think this shot of him is much better than your first one.
This one has so much emotion captured, and it also says a lot about your street skills and how you are able to get close or interact with the environment, as a photographer.
Besides, the composition is great, and I adore the how nude and natural it came out, as if you weren't even there.

Thanks so much

I like the first one more, personally, but they both have their touch of emotion



Thanks for the great comment!

I hope so too. But it isn't me I'm worried about.
