That's a kick ass shot Mark.

Thanks Jeff and Mark. I'm glad you liked it.

Nice shot of Ronnie Mark. I love the detail on the face. It looks like you were shooting a pretty low shutter. It deserves more than it will get here.

Spot on!

I like it a lot more without the frame. ;)

A thousand words don?t seem sufficient when looking at these hands. I

sat with him and chatted for over an hour. I watched him work as we

spoke. It seemed I could glean his life in his warn, strong,

undefeated hands. The many cuts, now scars, he endured helping to feed

his family. The 18-20hr days he worked, as a child, during WWII, were

there to see. "There were restrictions on goods, so the cobbler was a

major part of people?s lives." He said with some longing. He showed me

a worn photo, with a corner missing and a crease from folding at some

point. The photo was captured sometime it the late forties, and showed

shoes stacked floor to ceiling consuming one complete wall of his

small cluttered shop. We spoke of this throw away society and shared a

moment of silence. I can?t be sure, but I think we were experiencing

the same thoughts. My thoughts drifted to things we give/gave up in

our rush toward technology. A world which judge?s individuals worth by

net, jewelry or the car one drives. I had a strong sense of melancholy

when I thought of the names of my children?s heroes, Puffy, Cristina

or JLo.

 

His name is Lou, he has four sons. He?s now pushing eighty and still

works ten hours a day, six on Saturday. "I take Sunday off to chase

the wife around the house." "Chuckles."

 

Lou is shown here resizing the strap on a womans shoe.

 

I submit this photo for all the fathers/mothers who work their fingers

to the bone for their children.

 

YOU are the heroes.

Thanks guys.

 

I didn't have a choice on the mic Mark. I didn't add it in or anything. This was a live shot. I had little choice over the light. I could change the color, but that's what I saw when I shot it.

 

Thanks

Great catch!

Very good shot for the impossible lighting. ;)

Agree with Mark on both points.

Wish your girlfriend was a freak like her. ;)

Once again people don't have a clue about what makes a great concert image. I like this one a lot better if you had the bottom hand, but still a in the 5-6 range. I looked at how people rated it and shook my head.

Very nice Mark. :)

Nicely done!

Cool shot bra. :)

Stunning Oscar. Nothing else to say.

No face no sticks no shot. I don't mean to be blunt, but that's how I feel about a rock shot.

Now that's what I call shallow dof.

Cool shot Mark... tuff light.
