    Very interesting! I wonder what is happening inside his mind at the time you are capturing this. Great shot, Liz! thumb.gifthumbthumb.gifthumb clap.gifclapclap.gifclap

    Bravo, Liz! Excellent "study"

    BTW, first impression of #1 was that he was plugging an earphone in that was laced around the pole... ne_nau.gif

    BTW, how did you shoot it without the subject noticing?

    Thank you B.D. This is different for me, this type of series. I had no trepidation in posting this, I am told that I should and it's not right to post this man's obvious distress. I disagree, but it made me hesistate.

    Thanks Jiro,
    His anxiety was distressing. It made me uncomfortable as I was standing there next to him. I was listening to music and still I could not ignore his anxiety, so I shot. He would mumble a little to himself, he would let out a nervous laugh as though he couldn't believe what was happening.
    He reminded me of a gambler who had just lost it all--that's the feeling I got out of this.

    Hey Rainbow,
    Thank you. It's been a while since I posted. Glad to be back and post something good.

    Shot #1 I see that now.

    I shot with my iphone, right infront of him, he was too busy in his own world of...whatever it is he's feeling which clearly isn't good.
    I had my ipod on as well with the earbuds dangling. I held the phone infront of me, framed and shot frame after frame, kept checking to see if he was still properly in the screen. I think people think I"m listening to music on my iphone and ignore it when I hold it out--than again I could have shot this with a polaroid and I don't know that he would have noticed.
