One more for my 85mm series.
I pride myself in the fact that I can speak to almost anyone (pending language barriers). Not many people have the ability to walk up to a total stranger and strike up a conversation. Even less may approach this man, and have the balls to ask to take a photo.
A lot of street photography is done without the knowledge that the subject is being photographed. They say a photo is worth 1000 words, but why not get a few of those words from the person your making an image of.
Reach out, say hello, and make a new acquaintance. Maybe the next person you talk to will become the next friend
you make.
