Day 349 – No Littering

Depending on the context, I can be very reserved or very outgoing. How many times do I envision a picture when looking at a situation involving strangers, yet my camera remains in its bag? Ultimately, the ice has to be broken, fast. I knew I’d regret it if I didn’t capture this man, this moment. I didn’t want a staged photograph here, but I didn’t want to steal it either. He was with a friend, whom I elected to crop out in post. I explained what I was after, just a very simple shot. I have a few, but I happen to like the one where he’s looking directly at me best. I showed them the photos, we shook hands and I resumed our promenade.

I’m not sure who was getting a ride. I’m happy it came out well already.
