Description This is Larry. He told me that he likes to wear Hawaiian shirts, even though he has never been to Hawaii. He lives in SE D.C., and rides the green line to and from work. All in all, Larry is just awesome.

Love the lighting.
The grain is totally killer.
Perfect.
Sounds like a neato guy.

Steph, I know I'll probably never meet Larry, but I get the feeling if I encountered him on the green line tomorrow, both of us shuttling off to various separate destinations, I would find him to be almost exactly like you've captured him here. It's not rare, but I find exceedingly difficult to truly capture one's essence in a photo... but I feel like this is one of those times, and one of those shots, where you did just that.

Love it! It's very strong. The height of the picture above him definitely strengthens it.

The Green Line series here is wonderful. I'm especially impressed with your estimation of fstop and focal length in the first one, but that's just because I'm new to the SLR world.

You give Larry so much personality, even without the description. I like the amount of the photo that he takes up: just less than half the frame is perfect, and it really makes him stand out against the background.

One day I will be as accomplished as zzb...

Kudos

Eeeh, your comment made me squeal!

Thanks so much for the kind words I had quite a blast shooting on the metro, even while simultaneously feeling awkward for invading people's privacy. I took about 40-50 pictures or so, but the ones I put on dA were the three I like best

As for me being accomplished... Well, I wouldn't say that. :-p But thanks anyway!

Let's go around Raleigh this summer with our oh-so-cool manual SLRs and shoot pictures!
