During her training rivulet , Grace kindly let me photograph her and she naturally illuminate the environs in which she plays in .

Musician
San Francisco is full of aspiring musician . I was walk down Haight Street and since I ’m from here , I usually do n’t give aid but because of this photo project , all of a sudden , I notice all of the colorful citizenry out here . Some of them more interesting than the shops themselves ; one of them being the young woman whose banjo read , “ Life is not a paragraph . ” I shoot using my Nikon D40 , ISO at 400 , 55 mm f5.6 1/100 seconds . Then I went into photoshop and made it into a black and white , and to make her eyes bulge out out a little more .

Restorer
Over the weekend I decide to really nerd - out and go unaccompanied to the Illinois Railway Museum about an hour northwest of Chicago . I take my T2i and 3 cinema camera . Almost all of the regaining work done on the locomotives and cars is done by crawl in guy cable doing it on their free time . I was in a back area and ask one of the old guys to stand in front of one of the freight cable car that was in passably rough shape . “ What ’s this for ? ” he asked . “ descendants . ” I respond .

Pierced Portrait
After a dainty Easter Sunday folk gathering , my girlfriend and I decided to take a walk in a nearby wood preserve . We hike to a little falls and after being there for about half an hr , a couple walked up . They were not the duo I would have thought to see hike up through the suburb , but I knew straight off I wanted shoot their portraits . My girl had to do a petty convincing for me to really near them , but I did it . To be honest , I never even catch there figure . I simply approach them and asked if I could take their portrait . That ’s why I love these challenges … It makes you think outside the box and gets you out of your comforter zona .

Conversationalist
So this weekend I volunteered at halfway house in Tjuana for handicapped stateless Man with our local church building . I met various characters , but for some reason , after 4 hours , this guy wire had not move an column inch from the time I first insure him . After a prompt chat with him I ask him why he had not move , and he plainly replied “ nobody has nettle talking to me ! ”

Gentleman
I was walking past Central Station in Sydney when i come across this gentleman sitting in a corner on an empty crate of Milk River bottle , smoke a cigarette . I walked up to him and asked him if he would mind if i take a couplet of photograph of him . He smile and nodded , which meant i could . I noticed he was avoiding looking flat into the camera after i call for a couple of shooting , so i asked him to look straight at me , and took this shot when he did .
