Have cake and eat it - 18-04

This is my sons girlfriends grandad eating a cake. I like the idea of taking photos of characterful people but am a little intimidated by it.

That face :) street photography is hard for me too, I'm afraid they will get mad.

Nice portrait.

[Catherine Pace]

wonderful subject and look he's giving you - the hair has heaps of character on it's own but the whole shot is great - fav

[Rona]

Fab portrait, so much character :)

[Jan K]

You did awesome - this is a great portrait!

[Beryl Lloyd]

Super candid portrait --A fab fav !!

[Mike]

Fantastic portrait. I think that street photography scares the crap out of most people at the start. I'm in the same boat. I only do street photography from a distance with my big zoom :)

[Larry Mc]

Excellent Portrait!

[Robyn]

This is definitely a great character shot and the b/w suits it well

[Katia]

What an excellent portrait full of character! :)

[Pat Knowles]

A good start.....you look like you caught him unawares!

[Karin Hirsch]

Excellent shot and great portrait. He looks very characterful

[Andrew]

great shot perfect in B&W.

I take a lot of candid shots, i have never had one get mad, sometimes they ask questions, but never mad. you should try!

@andrewkru Thanks for the follow and encouragement. I am reading Thomas Leuthard GoingCandid e book and it is mouth-wateringly tempting to get out and have a go.
