great job with this...and what a great face! This looks like a face out of the Great Depression of the '30's. You give your subjects dignity...as if they can say to us, "yeah, I exist, TOO!"

Hi, Roger.

I love your sweet sensitive caring photos of homeless in SF. I photograph only a few homeless in NYC. One wasn't doing so well, lately, and has vanished as far as I can tell. She's done this before and I hope she shows up again soon.

wonderful capture of this aged soul. i love the contrast of his wrinkled, textured face with the crisp, even line of the brim of his hat.

It's not easy to make an old man's portrait. Is beautyful, and it remembers an italian painter... suggestivo;)

Awww... you 'heard' him and made him feel human. The way you afford these invisible souls a human connection is honorable, no matter how fleeting... Good to have people like you in the world :)

Beautiful shot. I really like how his eyes shine and you captured that. My favorite portraits are almost always those which make me feel that I've really gotten to know the person in some important way. You've done that here with this one.
