Wanted to share with my UHH friends - Street portrait!

Before heading to Alaska, I walked around Public Market in Seattle. A great spot for street photography. I couldn't resist this wonderful gentleman. He was kind enough to let me capture him. One of my favorite shots. Just wanted to share.

Thanks. He was a great guy. Just wish I could have showed him the final edit.

Maybe leaving bills in his hand would be an alternative to showing him the final edit.

Thank you. Background: He was in an alley just sitting with his eyes closed. Lighting was great. I stood for about a minute until he opened his eyes. My first words were "You are one handsome man". He said, "It's the beard". I knew with his smile he'd let me take his photo. I asked him to close his eyes again. Just loved the texture of the bricks and surrounding. Very lucky to stumble across him and fortunate he cooperated.

Yes, I have done that many times not only with instances like this but also street performers. This gentleman didn't want a thing. He was quite content in just letting me capture him. But a valid point when necessary.

Really nice! Did you have to ask, he looks like he is asleep.

Thanks. Yes, you'll see one of my replies above. I waited for him to open his eyes and then asked permission. Asked him to close them again. Such a nice man!
