"Pops" - French Quarter Street Dancer

Wow - stunning! What more can I say.

Gene,

wonderful to see some of your work here again. That is a great portrait!

Thanks Tony and Thom!

Distinctive, yet forgiving values from forehead to beard.
Excellent blend into negative space.
Perfect glint in the eyes, and rich tonality.
Congrats!

Thanks, Dave. Pops had the most expressive eyes I can recall. They were his and I only focused the camera and rendered in ink what was in the negative. I have often wondered about Pops. He was a dancer extraordinaire and a real gentleman - as well as a New Orleans street "character."

Cheers,

Gene

Gene, this is a master print!
