Boy with Cigar -NYC ~1991

I think this was taken by the NYC Library.

this is a strong street photo! too bad the compression slightly ruined it. anyways….congrats!

The image is an old old flatbed scan of the orginal silver gelatin print made about 10 years before digital came along. You are correct; the photo is poor. Today I would not have taking this photo.. I'll delete probably from my folio. Thanks for commenting.

I hope you retain this in your portfolio. It really disturbs me that so many technically, but soulless shots are high-fliers, while a shot like this is discarded and dismissed. It tells a story well, much better than most.

Thank you. I did retain it.

Very good exposition.congrats.

and liked it.

thanks,
