2007.01.24













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.

... and a big hello to my mom, who is following my blog (and will surely appear here soon (thanks for pointing out the typo, mom. I know you're always 'her' for me)).

JWCorey has modified one of my images in an effort to teach me a more expressive technique. See it here.

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!

antre99 You've really caught some lovely expressions!

junko I like all pictures which you took in the town.
Japan is very small island, we have same hair color and same skin color.
so it is very interesting for me.
and I want to go to Canada.

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.

pattyb Great shots as always! I love the look on the man's face in #4. Reminds me of Louie DePalma or a New Yorker's glance.
pattyb · 2007-01-26: 11:39
FaTmAn Great shot as all ways
