random passerby

[molsen]

i was photographing the artwalk event in downtown jacksonville recently & this grungy looking guy in a beat up wheelchair, acting a little crazy asked me to photograph him making a bird call

And you did take his photo and will soon go and give him the print, and he will be happy! For you took a good photo of him. You happened to take another where you were crouching more and look less down from above, by any chance?

 

[molsen]

nope that's the only photo. to be honest, i didn't think it was going to be much of a picture and i was on assignment to photograph something else so i hardly gave the man the time of day.

Stunning. Black and White really works here. What exactly is he doing though?

 

[molsen]

he was making some whistling noise... in his words, it was to make the swans come. lol...crazy people

ahh... if I had a nickel every time a grungy random wheelchair laden bird caller asked me to snap his picture... those were the good ole' days...

I digress... interesting shot... great story behind it... not sure about cutting his elbow off... but the picture is very interesting

 

[molsen]

oh snap... i didn't even notice the elbow thing. good call! is this better?
