Thanks Jorgen. What makes it a little more rewarding for me is that I had to step a bit out of my comfort zone. I usually wouldn't ask a total stranger if I could take their picture. I know I've passed up opportunities to take some good photos, just because of my reluctance to intrude. I need to get over that.Fantastic barbershop photos, Douglas.
Killer Shot!I was in my home town for Thanksgiving. Walking through the mostly empty downtown I came across this barber shop. It was closed at the time but I decided when I came back for Christmas, I was getting a hair cut and hopefully some images. In my mind's eye I had pictured the proprietor, but when I showed up this morning this is the gentleman I met. This was his father's shop for 30 some years, and then he took it over 25 years ago. As it turns out, he and I had the same 9th grade photography instructor. It was after that class I knew in I wanted to be a photographer.
Amazing Street!I decided to convert the hobo pictures to monochrome in Silver Efex2.

Thank you Arild! Wide open on both with some slight sharpening in NIK SEP.^^
Steve, great portraits. Snoop looks like a patient spaniel, Camden like a smart kid. Did you go all out wide on the aperture? In the Camden shot, you nailed the DOF to his eyes, good work (difficult optical tool to get used to).
