Busted By The Beard

This guy was on the sidelines at Lucas' soccer game on Saturday. He accidentally made it into a couple of my shots as I was shooting Lucas throwing in the ball. I liked how he noticed me here. Noticed me noticing him.

"Nice beard," I thought.

"Nice lens," he thought.

And then we went back to the game.

Love interesting looking people, faces. And capturing candids.

Over at Mad Hatters, we are doing a day in the life of a serial killer, Dexter style today. I made some breakfast there: @madhatters .

Happy new week!

[Jane Anderson]

This is probably his method of staying warm at soccer games!

[Scott]

It's a virtual tribute to ZZ Top!

[Nancy]

I'm not sure if that is happy body language...he is an interesting looking guy! Great candid!

[Simply Amanda]

@nanderson Ironically, I wasn't shooting him at all. Maybe he is thinking, point that thing somewhere else:).

[Corinne]

Happy he stayed on his chair ... ;)

[Simply Amanda]

@cejaanderson Beards are big here. I think it is a keep warm in the winter thing.

[Kerri]

Great b&w

[Saxa van Eijnsbergen]

Great beard!

[gloria jones]

Nice shot...his body language seems to imply that the chair is a tight fit for him :)

[Lisa Poland]

If he asks, just tell him you were making sure he wasn't one of the Robertson men from Duck Commander! LOL!

[Kitti Nelson]

Very cool shot - I think he looks relatively tolerant!

[👑 AnaZad]

Impressive beard. Fun eye to lens communication. Great shot, Amanda.

[KWind]

Great shot. I like his expression.

[Junko Y]

He looks as if he's challenging you to take a good portrait of him!

[Simply Amanda]

@jyokota Ha, and I did. Beards are interesting subjects. Love all the textures and added interest:).

[Junko Y]

@amandal -- bearded face, well captured, but I also see the folded arms and the body language as part of the "I dare you to" attitude!

[8yearson]

That is one quizzical look he is giving you there... and fabulous beard!!

[Denise fuller]

fabulous candid Fav

[Simply Amanda]

@bobfoto Your brother was at the soccer game glaring at me. What gives?

[Arthur Loosley]

Nice capture I thought!

[Maggiemae]

Its in his face - I wonder if that lady would mind if I came and said Hello!

[Jason Daniels]

Good beard.

[Simply Amanda]

@bobfoto I like the braid down the middle.

[Gena Pegg]

Very cool candid and that IS a great beard. Like how he is looking back at you to see if you are looking back him to see if he is looking back at you!

[Catherine W.]

Love that you were busted! Too funny!

[Princess Fairlane]

Busted! lol! Great expression, love your candid shots :)

[Cathrine Mitchell]

He's posed as if to say "Go ahead an make my day".

[Rachel Mackenzie]

Fantastic shot! Love his expression.

[Rachel]

Very cool, love the beard!

[Taffy]

That is one extremely cool beard. Well captured street photo/portrait.

[Rachel Withey]

Love this, looks great in black and white

[Simply Amanda]

@taffy I dug it. Thanks, Taffy. LOVE street shots, but I don't get out much.:)

[Bill Fenske]

Oooh, squinty eye. Nice capture.

[Simply Amanda]

@bill_fe I seem to bring out the best in people!:)

[Bill Fenske]

@amandal lol!

[Sarah Munnings]

Love that beard and the look at you :)

[Jo]

Great shot of this character, next time try getting up real close and personal!!!

[Simply Amanda]

@jo13 And I wasn't even focused on him. This one might have bitten me;). Just kidding. yes, still scared for some reason, but need to get over that crap! thanks, Jo!

[Jo]

@amandal If you are pointing a lens at someone from a distance and they can see you, you might as well have a chat with them and do it from close up, in my experience they are more than likely to say yes!

[Lisa Villella]

Great candid shot! That beard is wicked cool!

[Sheralee S]

Haha, love how you shared your and his thoughts ;-) Great capture.
