Hi! GI> Hi everybody,
GI> I'd like to hear some comments about this one: GI> http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=2147246 GI> I'm not sure if I like it or not... The man is a shoeshine, he GI> works (worked? not sure I saw him recently) along one of the GI> shopping streets in Naples. I took few pictures of his hands at GI> work and a couple of portraits too. There's another one I prefer GI> for his expression, but there something I like about this shot GI> that I'm not able to catch... GI> Ciao, GI> Gianfranco Gianfranco, this is how I "read" this shot. This is an old fellow, who's lost some of his eyesight (the glasses are quite strong, obviously) and who's having a little pause in the midst of modern and should I say crazy like a beehive city... His blue jeans only enforce that impression. They are so out of fashion... You bought a good camera and a good lens on the flea market, that's for sure. I tend to like it as it has style, essence, something that makes it more than just a shot... Do I make sense to you? Boris
