Photographer's Note
This guy was selling used stuff on the street.
It might not be so obvious in this close up, but this guy really has one side of his face (right side of the frame) that looks a lot older and wrinkled than the other one.
I thought he was fascinating.
Optical quality is not the best possible because this was cropped from a wider angle shot.
Hope you like it.
Guy
Lens is Sigma 70-300 APO

Nice portrait, Guy. You're right -- the left side of his face (right side of the shot) looks a lot older, especially around his eye -- very strange. The shot is very sharp -- I can see every whisker and evey hair. Great expression too!

well, i love portraits posted by te-members; this one i find particularly good - the face of the man says "i've got through many, many things, young boy, you would not even want to know what i know"; great portrait, guy
