Strive to photograph the truth.
– Henri Cartier-Bresson
After reading this great essay on Cartier-Bresson, it motivated me to choose my next image exactly with the sentiment of the quote. Again, another example of the Daido style I’ve been blogging about recently.
Truth — Ricoh GRD III
So with that said, I invite you to click here to view it large and after please feel free to comment what exactly did you feel when you saw the image. It doesn’t matter if its a one liner ie. raw or grunge, just whatever the image evokes within you please.
Thanks,

I think he is as interested in you, as much as you are in him. He has an intelligent and experienced expression. He may not be rich (by a long way), but he has his pride (I think).
Great shot… I bet you’re proud of this one!
thank you for the upload as well as the very inspiring essay.

Thank you all for your kind words and great insights, I really appreciate the love.
Gritty character and photo.
One of your best mate. A wonderful street portrait. Great stuff.
A captivating subject, good composition that seems to home in on his face. I like the treatment but prefer pure black and white.

I like the eye contact…which make the photo alive! Great shot!
I like the shot and edit. Couple more years and I’ll be looking like that?

Poverty is the first thing that crosses my mind here Jorge, the problem with that is even that comes at different levels :)…super take!
Thanks for this wonderful portrait. The sharp background is not disturbing – on the contrary: It adds to the portait. Very nice indeed!
the portrait alone is wonderful, but the composition of his environment is brilliant~!!!

top pic mate . .
Love your PP, Great stuff !
He comes across to me as someone who is content with in himself, but was wondering when you took the shot "why me?." On the other hand I’m not great at second guessing, so sorry if my comment was rather shallow? Regards
Compelling picture.
