LOL! by orangecrush

LOL!

This is Jack. My "get pushed" challenge was from @38mm Jase to find some one interesting and find out a little about them and take a portrait. Jack was his name and that's all I found out about this gentleman until I asked for a portrait...that's when the fun started! He didn't seem to want his picture taken, but I wasn't sure! I have a little evil side and I love to instigate... >:o)

Haha, before you took this shot you didn't know Jack! Great photo!
August 31st, 2012  
@grizzlysghost No, Maybe I came on too strong! ;o)
August 31st, 2012  
Oh he looks ready to punch you.
August 31st, 2012  
Mmm, could be that he didn't want his photo taken or could it be that he's just playing around? Great candid shot though.
August 31st, 2012  
You're a man after my own heart, Jerry. Be bold - but be prepared to run!
August 31st, 2012  
Funny story! You are brave! The hand stands out well against blurred backdrop :)
August 31st, 2012  
Falling over laughing at Arthur's comment @wordpixman
August 31st, 2012  
lol did you have to run away after this?
August 31st, 2012  
@kidatheart No, just a fast paced walk! :o) I think he wanted a peice of my camera!
August 31st, 2012  
Haha! Love this, he's definitely interesting :)
August 31st, 2012  
haha! awesome description and great photo.
August 31st, 2012  
So you still don't know Jack? :-) Hope you don't get a call from his witness protection manager!
August 31st, 2012  
Brilliant! This says it all really doesn't it! xx
August 31st, 2012  
cool :-)
August 31st, 2012  
I think you almost got 'pushed' literally. Love the shot though....his hands look they could pack a punch. nice in B&W also.
August 31st, 2012  
Risky business but wonderful shot :)
August 31st, 2012  
He looks thrilled. Nice to put your life on the line for a pic
August 31st, 2012  
Shit... Hope you ran fast. Great shot
August 31st, 2012  
Wow, you're brave! Just a quick point, I think we are currently on get-pushed-6, unless I tagged mine wrong. You might want to change yours.
August 31st, 2012  
Haha, you are brave, and this is a great, dramatic shot! Very paparazzi-like. 8)
August 31st, 2012  
Talk to the hand! Great candid shot!
August 31st, 2012  
Love the focus Jerry. The B&W seems to suit this character and his pose so well. Great shot.
August 31st, 2012  
Ha! It's still a great shot!
August 31st, 2012  
:D so very well done!

I hope the person who has the challenge this week to post a photo with emotion sees this. Such powerful feeling here. I am hoping that he was just an awesome find for you and that you didn't have to run for your cameras life.
August 31st, 2012  
WOW well done - cool shot and this could be one for the street photography challenge also this week :-)
August 31st, 2012  
Very raw. I admire your bravery! I think what I like the most is that I DON'T know anything about Jack, but the look of his hand, and his ring, allow me to conjure up my own story for him. And isn't that half the fun of photography?
August 31st, 2012  
interesting :) !
August 31st, 2012  
Cool shot
August 31st, 2012

September 1st, 2012  
Awesome!! This is way better than him posing for you!
September 1st, 2012  
Yeah, I can see your uncertainty about his wishes... He is very hard to read! haha! This is wonderful quality and the subject is amazing! fav
September 1st, 2012  
Great shot.

Oh, wow. . .I would have been running in the exact opposite direction! I LOVE that the focus is so detailed and clear on his hand. . .
September 1st, 2012  
So was he waving at you or telling you to get that camera out of his face? Hard to tell! lol! Maybe Jack is" wanted" somewhere! lol!
September 1st, 2012  
@ellimae I think your right! He really didn't want his picture taken! :)
September 1st, 2012  
LOL... oooooooh you naughty boy!!! Great capture though.
September 1st, 2012  
I love the expression on this mans face. There's something about the questioning look he is giving... Like he wanted to have his picture taken and didnt, at the same time. Perfectly shot! Love the placement of his hand.
September 1st, 2012  
Great capture tho, really shows what he was feeling! I'm glad he didn't punch you.
September 1st, 2012  
Haha by the look of him you were lucky to get away unscathed!
September 1st, 2012  
great street shot - and did you enter it for the Street Photography Now for this week?
September 1st, 2012  
awesome street shot.....a FAV! way to capture that delicate dance we do with strangers when we've got a camera in our hand and a mission to accomplish! i love LOVE the gritty detail on this guy's hand.
September 1st, 2012  
this is such an AWESOME street shot! fabu response to your push!
September 1st, 2012  
Lol!!! Jack got snapped :)
September 3rd, 2012

September 3rd, 2012  
Oh oh, he doesn't look happy at all! ;-)
September 4th, 2012  
Hahaha - glad you only got a photo and not a punch in the face as well:)
September 4th, 2012  
TC
Ewwwweeeee! Love it but I'm feeling intimidated just looking at it - Can't imagine the tension on the scene!
September 4th, 2012  
HAHAHA. he looks like a guy that would give you this kind of shot. i give you props for trying tho....i couldnt do it. i am WAY TO SHY for this kind of stuff. the shot is still really kewl though!
September 4th, 2012  
What a great story!! Lol. What a great capture! He looks like he doesn't want his picture taken. Perfect in b&w. Love the focus and tones. :)
September 5th, 2012  
Again, you've made me laugh aloud. For a man who doesn't want his photo taken, he's rotten at hiding his face. Love it!
September 5th, 2012  
haha this turned out great!

Love the shot & bold move. I thought about doing a series on why are you taking my picture look - but I don't want anyone to take my camera away & break it!
September 5th, 2012  
hehehe!!!
September 5th, 2012  
Hahaha... talk to the hand!! Love it. XD
September 7th, 2012
