City Gent  by rich57

City Gent

This guy was sat on a bench watching the world go by with a faraway look in his eyes. Obviously I thought of Robin Warner and all her amazing shots when I saw him. I also thought about what a hard life he's probably had.
Kris Kristoferson's looking the worse for wear these days

Great shot - also reminded me of Robin's pics. She is inspirational. Well done Richard!!

Fab! Was that the guy near the bubble woman? That is such a great shot has made me laugh a lot! :-D

Lovely shot, Richard. If you'd talked to him, chances are he's ex-Army, many of our rough sleepers are.

That face looks like it has a lot of stories! Great shot - really well done indeed.
August 14th, 2011

Good and grizzled - yes - wonder what his story is. Got him too - complete with prayer beads/rosary.

August 14th, 2011

August 14th, 2011

@robinwarner stealth, would have liked to talk but that's so out of my comfort zone just now. It's funny but you should know that you come up in most 365 conversations I have!!! You have a fan club over here!

omg really...that is so nice...i actually feel like i am a one trick pony and it just gets boring for everyone...i try something different, but it just does not work and i end up going back to the same old street shots.... hope people are not bored...but is is kinda where i am comfortable and what i am drawn to. your support and encouragement means so much..thanks
August 15th, 2011  
that is odd..i faved this shot..but it does not show it...sorry..must have been during the time that the website was slow mo and it did not capture it...will redo it now
August 15th, 2011  
@robinwarner Ha, well I love those flower shots you do too. I feel like I always fall back on my shop+passerby=shot style. But we got talking yesterday and came to the conclusion that a lot of the time the comments we get help shape our projects and that sometimes if we swerve too far from our "accepted style" it's not the done thing. Mind you, we did get through quite a few beers! For sure though, your work is an inspiration to me and many of the people I've "met" on 365!
