Hi!
I met Owen this past Saturday. He was kind enough to let me photograph him
with his sign. He carries it around to different venues - Saturday he was
at a little Jesus festival in San Francisco - and he has a regular corner
in Oakland where he invited me to visit. I'll be seeing Owen again, and
probably shooting B&W. Color, I think, is too intense, certainly in bright
light. Anyway, there may be more photos and more of a story about Owen as
time progresses.

I am thinking of a fill flash here...
I think I would also try to shoot it from different position. For
example, I would try to put Owen and his sign to the corner so as to
show more of the (sinful) life surrounding him...
I totally agree with Frank, this photograph makes the viewer think. And
as such it is very successful. It's been a long time since you posted
your "regular" and good work, Shel.
Thanks for sharing!
