I have no fear of taking someones photo from a across a table or a pavin slap, but i do think the homeless and anybody on the street getting by should be engaged. I've said this before but they are often treated like game rather then human beings Hats off to you ray

Wow, this is excellent, Ray. And great that you asked and was granted the opportunity. I can't believe how many I've let slip through my fingers because I didn't want to ask.

He's A man who's been around the block on the scenic route! Nice work.

really good. I'm embarrassed to admit that this guy must know my second ex-dh. Is that a dog in his lap? Geez, I wish I had the courage.

Steve Martin		05-Jul-2005 01:58
Wow! He reminds me of my high school physics teacher. Kidding aside... great shot! I'm hesitant to approach people for photographs... especially characters like this guy. -sm
