Wonderful! There is something sinister about that smile of his! Of course! He DID finish his Christmas shopping! (Wish I did!!)

Guest 18-Dec-2005 14:27
Perfect in every sense. The wild nature of this man with the subtle tones of black and white...lovely...(V)

Perfect study in candid minimalism.. the one side of his face lit is just so right.

Guest 17-Dec-2005 00:28
I agree with others' comments.
Strong image.

That is spooky, he looks so much like a guy who used to wander around my town.
I haven't seen him for a while, it could be him.
