"Hombre duro", "corazón tierno"
Presume con su puro,
disfruta con un "tiovivo"
A real gritty portrait, lots of light, texture, character and tones. Thanks Jorge.
Great shot Jorge. Lots of character there
Killer capture…well done and a welcome addition at The Inspiring Photograph…… Photography at its finest
[http://www.flickr.com/photos/msalup] what a coincidence, yup Calle Ocho indeed.
[http://www.flickr.com/photos/mrsellr] Thanks man.
[http://www.flickr.com/photos/jbrown1993] Lovely analysis as usual, I certainly hope you chime in two weeks when I publish the next episode of my new project – The Fortnightly Review over at my blog, this is one of the images. I’m still processing the rest. Thanks so much.
Awesome image, Jorge. I love how the lines & tones in the old man’s face correspond to the cigar store Indian’s torso. It’s as though they’ve been together so long they start to resemble one another, like an old married couple:-)
Awesome b&w portrait!
I know that old man. I even took his picture during Calle Ocho
[http://www.flickr.com/photos/iphilosopher] thanks for the compliment sir.
fabulous b/w conversion! like a sculptor of light you are!
