David

Selling the Big Issue.
https://www.bigissue.com/
I traded a copy of the Big Issue for him posing for a photograph.
The magazine is a lot more expensive than I remember and so many more political articles than I remember. Or is that because I am more politically aware?
It’s tough on the streets and the current weather isn’t helping although quite mild but windy today.

Very nice portrait! Haven't heard much out of Duran Duran in a long time. Looks like an interesting issue.

[Renee Salamon]

Agreed it’s pretty tough out there - I may do same as you to read this issue

It made me cold to see him standing here but it is a great portrait of David

[Diana]

Fabulous candid capture, I love the cover of the magazine.

[JackieR]

A lovely portrait

[Julie Ryan]

He looks friendly and handsome. And the magazine looks interesting. Nice shot

[Babs]

I believe the Big Issue vendors get to keep half the cost of the magazine, so if it cost you 4 pounds, he will keep 2 pounds. Not much is it. He probably earns every penny and has to stand out in the cold too.

@onewing I believe that is the case and you are spot on it is £4. Pre Covid it was £1.40

[Liz Gooster]

This is such a moving and beautiful portrait. What strength of character he must have to be able to smile like that amidst all the hardship he must be experiencing.

Nice street portrait of the magazine seller. Such a nice smile. Duran Duran members are looking a little long in the tooth.

[LManning (Laura)]

An excellent stranger portrait.

[Ingrid]

Super stranger portrait and well worth your 4 pounds!

[Boxplayer]

So much has changed and yet Duran Duran are still here 🤣 it's always been such a good initiative

[Peter Dulis]

nice one :)

[Kathy A]

The poor guy isn't looking terrible warm out there in the weather. I didn't realise that Duran Duran were still a thing

[Mary Siegle]

What a friendly looking guy! You made a wonderful portrait of him.

[Madeleine Pennock]

Good capture of a pleasant looking man! Good to get the engagement and the eye contact! The background looks familiar to me, as a British market town!
