San Telmo #4

I like this, such a simple portrait but his expression tells so much about him...

I think that's a woman, Charo. Guillermo, you just left such a thoughtful and encouraging comment on my not so good photograph that I will have a hard time to tell you I don't think this' a good composition. The expression if fine, but composition's really what I object to -- you have here three lines that split this image horizontally: the foreground line of the pins, the background white-ish cloth, and the darker line of trees. The woman's head is popping out of there with too little of her body attached to it not to make it look sort of grotesque. And there's some vertically oriented white stuff behind her/his head. I tried really hard to make sense out of it but I can't. We are ole PT friends and I hope we can tell each other when we fail -- I expect the same from you.

Tristeza sin fin. Un tango?

Me quero suponer que esto es Buenos Aires querido, me parecen conocidos los puestos de la plaza Dorrego. Me trajo mucha nostalgia tu San Telmo, yo trabaja por ahi hace unos a�os y almorzabamos por esos tantos bolichines de por ahi.

Que lindo ver tus fotos! Extraordinarias fotos que tenes!
