28-JAN-2007 Shirley Haden

2nd - Walter at the Drive Thru-Shirley
by Shirley Haden

I liked Walter from the moment I laid eyes on him in the drive-thru line at Arby's, a fast food joint, simular to McDonald's. Only in Minnesota would a young man wear a hat like this! And to have such a great smile and be in such a good mood with temps around 0*(F), well Walter is just what we would call "Minnesota Nice".

Warmth on a cold day. Love the counterbalances - perspective of the window going back - him leaning forward, bumpy testure of the fleece - smoothness of the skin. The smile goes right to his eyes.

Great start to the gallery Shirley, I don't know how you manage to get these... I wouldn't create a gallery of that name though, or you'll find the FBI on your doorstep one morning ;)

Thank you both, and yep he has a memorable smile. He is my one and olny Arby's drive-thru shooting! The rest (about a dozen or so) are all shot at Caribou Coffee. Ha, now you've given me an idea for a title for a gallery Drive-Thru Shootings HAHA!

I remember when you posted this a month ago or so Shirley. I really liked that spontaneous smile. A good entry imo, naturally framed, illustrating the working conditions. Good one !

Excellent start. I remember a similar picture from you of a young woman. Is it the same place? If so, they have very friendly people working there. Or is this the way people generally respond to you and your camera?
