January 1 2005:
The Old Man

I noticed this old man in the street today. He was just taking a break from playing his harmonica and uttering to complete strangers when I caught him with his roll-up.

Meanwhile, a few yards away, I spotted this young woman in the clinical environment of SpecSavers.

This is just superb. What a guy and what a shot. Did he know you were shooting him? It looks to me almost like one of those times where he was aware of you with your camera but not really posing.

Terrific portrait, Ray. You seem to find the most interesting people! By the way, you need to change the year on your copyright stamp. Happy New Year!
