Artist's Comments
While walking, I ran into this man busily washing the outside window of a bar. I asked him for a picture, and he gladly complied. He introduced himself to me as "Tone", then proceeded to share a poem he had written - after which he pulled out a Bible and showed me a passage of encouragement.
Stay cool, Tone.

CommentsInteresting encounter...and the glasses are pretty cool.
-- This is just my interpretation of the situation... obama '08!!!! [badge]
lovely picture x -- “Almost everything you do will seem insignificant, but it is important that you do it”. Mahatma Ghandi This guy should be on DA.
 I see why opted for the blurring, and I might have liked it even more if you had shown his hand with a sponge. I really love this portrait though. I think the sepia combines the warmth of color with the beauty of black and white. i love the color of this, and the focus too. and i think his glasses are my favorite part.
-- For my part I know nothing with any certainty, but the sight of the stars makes me dream. -Vincent van Gogh simple and genius.
--  fascinating ;]
-- It's hard to say "I love" when i hate. Sory for my english :] gorgeous - the reflection in the glasses, the colors as well as the lensbaby effect...
even the obama button Tone and lensbaby goes together very well
-- If you want, have a look... _____________________ So many fools pass through my life,but I am the only one to stay! People say I'm crazy
doin what I'm doin Well they give me all kinds of warnings to save me from ruin When I say that I'm o.k. well they look at me kind of strange Surely you're not happy now you no longer play the game - 1980 John Lennon I like the depth of field/focus being in the center as it draws the right amount of attention to Tone. Great reflection in the sunglasses! I like the touches of various greens all through the image.
Nice portrait. -- "We are all atheists about most of the gods that humanity has ever believed in. Some of us just go one god further." ~Richard Dawkin |
