On the way home, I walked up Augusta to a place that I love. Jumbo Empanadas is the place to go when you're cold and hungry.

Some days I respond to every face I see. I am stunned by how beautiful people are.

aggiechristine What great shots! I especially like the different vignettes of people in the streetcar windows.

Jwcorey My favorite part, beyond the shadow of a doubt, is this guy. His face speaks volumes about what he must be thinking. I couldn't resist doing this up when I saw it.

EarwenElore I always love your portraits. Here it's really hard to take them people freak out and sometimes respond violently...so I'd better ask for permission :S Thank God there are your shots to look at.

Diversity is what wonders me, how very different and equal are we. What a great mixture of gestures, feelings, cells, energy...beauty...is a human :D

tortoise Hah! Miss Looky Loo. Another fine nickname for you, oh ye of many names.

Dangling cigarette guy cracks me right up. I like that he's framed in a blurred chainlink, too. A caged leer. He has a voice, too, but it would not be decorous to translate it in this forum.

Love #3, too. Something claustrophobic about the shot, but his expression is completely defiant. Undaunted by his confinement. "Yeah, I'm trapped in a box. So?"

JuliaGotz You are so generous in your comments that I don't know what to say except thank you.

As far as photographing strangers, I do get told "no" quite often, and I'm getting used to it. But sometimes it works out. Like the lovely young woman in the last two pictures. I had asked someone else in the crowded streetcar for a picture, and they had said no. That's the point to look around, because everyone looks when you talk to a stranger. I think when people hear someone say 'no', then they have a second to think about it, and I can see by their face that they are ready to be asked.

I don't ask permission if it is from a distance, but for a close shot, I always ask. Maybe that's self protective. If they are close enough to grab me or my camera, I guess I better be careful!

Reichanadter Nice set. That modification is funny!!!! I thought the same thing when I saw that picture, well, not exactly the same thing but I found the man's expression amusing.
