Stopped to chat with this guy on the street the other week. I mostly keep to myself when doing street photography but I'm happy to chat right away if it seems like the thing to do...most people respond happily.
This fellow seems very well dressed for cold weather...looks intelligent....what did you chat about?
I wondered about the angle on this and another of your images... realized it might be harder to level up, which might lead to a graphic distraction and, more importantly, take time away from the relationship.'
yes I shot this fairly quickly and didn't level it out. I presented this full frame instead of cropping it 'level'.
Scan For Now means I'd like to print this in my darkroom but haven't yet...so for now it's a scan of the negative to present here.
As I recall, we didn't chat for long as he had to go catch a bus. Basically small talk, weather, and he asked me about taking pictures and my camera.
IMO small talk is more important than photos... I don't know how you could have cropped that "level"...was imagining the footwork necessary to photograph it that way (I tend to be obsessive about that...looks better your way).
