Really like this one, Andy. The hair, the smirk, and the bus in the perfect spot in the background! How do you do it??

How did you get that low Andy? Different perspective than a straight on train shot. Was that shot with an SLR or with an 828 with a swivel viewfinder?

And yes, Ross needs no sharpening. Maybe too much time on his hands tho...

I'll tell you what, getting the back story just adds so much to the shot. Imagine running into an opera singer.

Great shots Andy!

How cool, Andy!
Great work man!

I love how both shots look extremely casual, yet it's clear they were cleverly composed. Good stuff indeed!

Thanks so much for sharing!
Take care!

thanks sid, snappy, nir and thiago, very much, for looking and commenting. mr sharpie here, he's one of my favorite street portraits. i like him as much as the haitian cab driver i grabbed a few months ago.
