I wish I could put this on all your photos, but the eyes in every picture are just sooooo soulful and longing and wise and beautiful. You really bring it out in your subjects.

You must really have the touch for them to open up to you. People don't open up anymore....

and the lighting? is it just the bright SF sun? do you try to go out at a certain time of day or...?

I AM stunned!!!
If you can portray celebrities with as much elan as you display in this and other portraits, you could make serious cash.
PS: wish I could attend your show!

laSilvi says:

Congratulations for the exhibition. I wish I could attend :) Did you invite any of your models?

Something I have thought many times: you and merkley??? together, make a stunning description of SF's life, such a strong contrasting and complementary portrait of San Francisco. Have you seen his work?

Your photo images are so haunting... I have a friend who is a Vietnam veteran. He was lost and homeless for quite some time-- compounded by amnesia caused by Agent Orange. You do the world a great service by letting us look into the eyes of these fellow human beings. What is the saying... "There but for the grace of God go I." I am not a religious person, but this is the phrase that permeates my being when I examine the faces of your people. Thank you.

Congrats on the show, Stoneth!
This young man is so handsome, yet the little cuts, and the runny nose, and for me, something about the pose of his hand all add up to a little boy quality...it's in there somewhere....probably, I imagine, because it never had the chance to 'finish' in a natural way. It was forced, most likely, into an early retirement.

The portrait is transmitting the atmosphere of the homeless life very well I think. At least it reminds me of those homeless people I see with my eyes almost every day.
P.S. Stoneth, thank you for answer. Your feeling of the right moment to push the shutter button is really worth of admiration:)

Looks like the pic is shot in the 1930s... I always wanted to picture homeless people but I never found the courage. I'm thinking they might feel offended. What is your experience with that, how do you handle it?
