Charley sits in front of the El Cerrito Post Office almost every day. Over a period of months I've come to know a little about him, and have sometimes helped him out.
Today I had my camera handy - it was in my hand rather than in the Domke case - and when he saw it he became quite interested, which led to a little more back story. We sat and talked a bit about his past, about photography in general, about Nikon and Canon in particular, and it seemed like today would be the perfect day to start working on his portrait. This is the first snap, but there will be more to come. He wasn't feeling well today - he has emphysema and he was suffering from a bad cold or flu as well. So, forgive the quick grab - I'm posting it here as an introduction to an interesting and well-liked local character. A lot of people who frequent the post office look out for him, and care enough to know a little (or a lot) about him. http://home.earthlink.net/~my-pics/charley.html Tech Details: istDS, K30/2.0 @ f/5.6, ISO 200, 1/100 sec Shel -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
