Sergio of Brooklyn

What a day and we haven't even gone to David's Slideshow/Fiesta yet!!! If you ever want to find interesting people to photograph, come to Brooklyn. I took 150 photos in a couple hours time and would still be out there if we hadn't realized we'd better get a little lie-down before the big evening! I have my friend Pat to thank for seeing Sergio through the window of the barber shop where he works. And then I have her to thank for being willing to wait 30-40 minutes until he was finished with his client, and then another 15-20 minutes while I photographed him. Such a dear man. Shy but gracious. I so appreciate his posing for me and I hope whoever comments here will be respectful to Sergio. He is taking his own unique path in life and I admire him for it.

This is so strong piece of portraiture... classic Brooklyn style buildings in blurred background really boost this shot. Great work, big vote!

Not somebody who would go unnoticed, no matter how shy he is. Obviously, you and him have build mutual trust.

The real gift you give us with this image, Patricia, has become a cliche but still so underemphasized. Because someone looks a little different (or alot in Sergeo's case) does not mean they have less value as people. I admire that you recognize people in all walks of life as true equals - I try to do the same. Have fun in NY - I'll be there in a few weeks myself.

What an awesome image. I love how he is leaning on the building and the buildings in the b/g. And the angle from your chair works so well.
FABulous work here.
