Image of the Week
I was walking through downtown St. Petersburg, Florida when I saw this homeless man. i stopped and talked with him and after a few minutes asked him if I could photograph him. I thought he looked like an aging Ernest Hemingway. I bought him breakfast and ate with him. I’m glad I met him and made this image. To this day, I pray for him from time to time.
Blessings,
the pilgrim

I vaguely remember having seen this image before but I can’t recall where. It may have been at a program you did for the Photographic Society of Chattanooga. It’s a great image I happy to see again. I can learn a lot about portraits from studying this image.
I think I did show it at your club!
To me this has all a ingredients that a portrait should have – including LOTS of emotion!
it was emotionala to meet him and talk with him, I was honored that he allowed me to photogaph him.
“There, but for the grace of God, go I!”
He wears his soul on his face.
Yes he did.
