Hey, that's my uncle Ralph!

My hat's off to him. I can't write longhand for long--my hand cramps. Wonderful candid.

Michael Todd Thorpe		11-Jul-2006 19:53
This turned out nice... I love the perspective.

Dan Chusid		11-Jul-2006 15:33
Bet he's got a strong handshake...

Great candid, that dude is on task for sure. I really like the low perspective here, I hope that you were not on the floor. LOL... Vote

Excellent candid catch Doug. Roberto

What's he copying from? 'Wifi for Dummies' perhaps?

Guest		10-Jul-2006 12:25
should have had a camera with him. a macro shot would have done it. ;))

Guest		10-Jul-2006 10:52
Great shot - I plan on being him in about 30 years time!

A relict of the past - a beautiful one though! What an inviting atmosphere here! Excellent POV!

Terrific candid shot. He looks serious at his task. V.

Great candid expressive catch. Admire his concentration and would love to take a look at his longhand :-)

Fun shot. This would look good in black and white also. (Btw...the dude in the background is wearing sandals and socks! LOL.)

Guest		10-Jul-2006 03:03
Looks like a character - nice shot

Really like the depth in this image..Great capture of expression. I can almost smell the coffee

This is a bit freaky because he could be my doctor's twin brother, except that my doctor doesn't have a twin brother. Neat shot!

Good capture ~ he's so absorbed into what he's doing.

royalld		10-Jul-2006 01:16
You did a great job capturing the light in there. Nice comp, too.

Michael Shpuntov		10-Jul-2006 00:53
Great candid Doug. I like so much guy face's expression. How did you managed to get shot in that store? V

Guest		10-Jul-2006 00:37
You mean no WiFi, not even a laptop??? Nice POV and perspective.

Guest		09-Jul-2006 23:46
Fun candid. Love your composition, especially this red cap in the foreground. ;-)))

Jen Bixler		09-Jul-2006 23:22
I bet he stopped somewhere else and got a cup of old fashion black joe!

Deborah Lewis		09-Jul-2006 23:09
Great shot - can I have a decaf, fat-free, sugar-free vanilla latte, please.....

Craig Persel		09-Jul-2006 23:05
Always one of my haunts while in Bakersfield. Great shot.

Awesome photo. I like the look on his face. He does need a computer, though.

I love coffee shop shots. He looks so studious.
