Re: Havana Man

Hi Tom I like it I suppose. A little more info would be nice.
Is it you? Is it a scan of an old pic, is it a new pic made to look like an old pic?
Come on your crafty old dawg you, let us in on the secret

Re: Havana Man

I think this is an interesting piece of art rather than a straightforward photograph, so we enter the mysterious world of ar appreciation. I can see some people really loving thus (I find it interesting, myself) while others will probably be dismissive.

Piece of Art Ian? Don't go there Ian, you know where it can all end up. I'm delighted you like it.
Basically it is a simple photograph of a man I saw on a street in Havana, with a little processing in Lightroom.
No thoughts on the presentation or why you may or may not like it?

Re: Havana Man

A different sort of effect Tom. I am more the straightforward photographer generally (liked your Chinese boys).

As Ian says some will and some wont like it, it is not the sort of photography I would choose. Then, I am not really a mono person, I just love colour.

There is one thing that I noticed and that is the wall. Have a look at my Cuban man, could it be the same wall?

I dont think Im too keen because its such a tight crop of the head, I actually like pictures of old people up close but they are mainly one's where they are looking straight at the camera.

Hello Audrey
If I remember properly I took the photograph in some Plaza iwhere a lot of dressing up for the tourists takes place.. Can't be sure about the wall but I am sure that your image is most enjoyable. You got a great shot of a great looking character and having his taped up radio or whatever in the picture is a great extra. What a fantastic beard.
