Ringo - growing old gracefully [David Wilkinson Digital Black and White Printing]
Uploaded: June 13, 2004 02:27:27
I learnt a lesson in street photography yesterday. I was in Oxford yesterday and this character was walking along the street. I tried to take a photograph covertly but he saw me. I was horrified when he came up to me. He simply said if I wanted a photograph he would pose. I then used this later with another 'character', I asked and got a yes. I have realised that 'characters' like their photos taken so ask - it works!

David, this is incredible! Love the subject and you had him pose in a manner that allows us to see him at all angles. Guess the old saying, "Ask and you will receive" was rather acurate for this prize catch! #591201Donna W. Neal June 13, 2004
