That's a very endearing portrait, Peter.
Excellent!
Thank you, Gentlemen!

I guess I see the world a little different. I'm not one that shoots sweet portraits, not that there's anything wrong with sweet images. I like photographing things with a little more grit.
I met this guy about three years ago in "Happy Holler", once skid row, just after he got out of jail. He was drinking from a fifth of something orange I don't think I'd put in my cars radiator to keep it from freezing. I'm not one who's afraid to strike up a conversation and started talking to him and photographing him. He had gotten out of jail that morning and told me about getting knifed and his scar. Here's one of the images.
I started my career as a photojournalist 53 years ago and can't seem to shake the interest in this kind of work.
I think I shot this on a $15 Nikon EF and a wonderful Nikkor 50mm f2. Could have been a 35 2.8 Nikkor though. Can't remember the film.
