This is Dan. He lives with a part-time prostitute under the streets of LA. A master of numerous martial arts, a medical student, professional motorbike racer, and semi-pro ball player,... He is there to keep those who live here safe from the threat of night visitors.
A very sobering, but rewarding episode in a most excellent day with @pixelchix, @alecio, @lorihiro and @ellen. If you ever have a chance to hang out with these peeps, DO IT ! ! ! Supreme awesomeness.
jenn, this shot is so good. the lighting, the stance, the processing, the focus....such a powerful image, it just all comes together. nicely done missy......
You did a great job with this portrait, Jenn! His stance says it all and your highlight on him just gives him more importance! Wow! You can really see inside this guy!!!
Love the softness of this shot of tough, yet kind Dan. They were very generous with their time and their story. You captured him so well!so emotional for me, but I must FAV!
i get chills when i see this shot... and here his story...you see how deeply you can be moved and touched when you find out what is underneath...it really takes this photographic journey to a whole new level. You my dear are amazing...talented...gifted...easy going...and a wonderful and supportive friend... sooooooooo happy to finally meet you and next it is the wonderful and talented Phoebe ... ok mom!???
wow - does Dan look like he has a little twinkle in his eye???? He definitely didn't look that way in Alecio's portrait (@alecio). Just not too sure about Dan. . .but I am loving your portrait. fav
This is a fantastic portrait! Wow I can't believe you met this guy. What a story. I loved meeting you yesterday and hanging out. You and Heather are so warm and talented. I'm so glad you made the trek down and I hope to see you on another meet-up.
At least he's not sucking in his gut in your portrait like he was in Alecio's!! This is a terrific portrait, well Done!
I must tell you that meeting Y'all this weekend was so wonderful, not really knowing each other initially made it a bit scary for me because I have such a difficult time breaking out of my shell. So thank you very much for helping me to open up.... you two ladies are AWEsomeSauce peeps!!!
Wow--I get a totally different vibe from your photo than I did from Alecio's....amazing how different each of you "tell" the story through your lens. Great capture!
Incredible picture, and I'm just amazed at his story. I can't even imagine.
And a part-time prostitute? :-O I'll just leave that alone, heehee.
Nice job!
