the sunken cheeks are mesmerizing... could you give me some tips on how to photograph people? Hans van de Horst told me to look at your shots and they're all incredible. Do you take your pictures b&w or in color, then convert? How do you approach and get them to look so sincerely at the camera? I'm sure you're busy but if you get a chance to answer any of these questions, I'd be delighted.

he's a very handsome man -- he's hardened and cynical looking, but still has a very chiseled esthetically pleasing face -- take off the beanie and dress him up and he could be a calvin Klein model... ok, maybe diesel

in the romamor group I found someone who was highly appreciating your portraits, so I've taken a look and I must confess they're amazing. moreover, people on the streets are probably the subject I love the most. you're doing a great job!

I totally agree, in most of your portraits there is so much emotion in the faces (whatever that emotion may be). This guy is so closed, numb..really is fascinating.

A tough guy and an intense look, a face difficult to read. The angle works perfectly. High quality portrait.

An excellent shot and trying to figure out how to describe his expression is a challenge. It is not disinterest, not directly. Neither welcoming nor unfriendly. Almost a little sad smile there ... Mona Lisa sort of a smile.

deletted says:

his eyes speak of poverty, of pain, of animosity, of prejudice, of heartbreak, of the corporate America, of the little child trapped inside a demon, of the cold mornings, of the lost chance, of the uncertainty, of want, of hope..

While I could spend hours admiring the portrait, the other faculty of my soul cannot but exclaim, why on earth is our world so cruel.

What you capture in your portraits is unparalleled in my experience. I say it time and again, but this is really an astonishing capture - I don't know what I see in his eyes but it makes me uncomfortable. And for you to have caught that is (to me) quite remarkable.

Haight Ashbury? I was there about 10 years ago and remember many young homeless kids. One had a fishing pole with a can at the end of it, a creative way to ask for change.
