She was scared of me. When she asked my why I wanted her picures I explained as I normally do, simply telling the truth. She said me yes, but I feel she gave her permission more out of fear than because she wanted to. I bet she was thinking that I was a mad man [...]
There are small downsides in using film, and one of these is finding your film scratched! I was quite happy about this shot, I liked the reflection of the sun on the benches when I saw, still on the developed film, those scratches. Bummer! To be honest I am not so angry for them, it [...]
When I met this man and asked his portrait, just in fron of the National Portrait Gallery, he laughed and asked me why I wanted to take a picture of an ugly person as him. I did not think he is ugly at all: I stopped him because he was a strong character and when [...]
