8-16-11 Photo of the Day

I was in Hyde park the other day, by the Peter Pan statue and saw this guy walking towards me.  He had an unusual way of walking, he would look down for two steps then look up for two steps and then repeat the same action over and over...  I would have gotten dizzy if I tried walking that way.  I have been trying to get people to look at me when I take their photos lately so I knew I was going to get his face which I loved.  I put the camera up to my face and made sure he saw me do it, so on his third step he was looking right at me, click I got it =)  The funny thing is now that I want people to look at me, they are not ...oh well.

  3. Reverse psychology, unfortunately the universe seems to know what you REALLY want and won't be fooled :-)

    Nice shot of an interesting character. Everyone has a story, and this picture draws me in to his. Whatever it might be.

  6. I like his eyes. They're very interesting. There's a lot going on in that face.

  7. There is a lot going on... he was preoccupied with other things that he didn't really pay much attention to me. What I need to stop doing is photographing people like this, because they seem to be the ones that lash out at me the most. They do make for very interesting subjects.
