New York: Washington Square Park
Inspiration: Solitary Figure. In repose. Lost in thought. A perfect moment for a photograph.

"a place where i can spend my quiet nights,
no man alive has witnessed the struggles i've been through...but there's no fairy tales for this young black male, wishing i live my life a legend immortalized in pictures..."
Wow! Let me catch my breath, I'm so inspired by this picture that i'm gonna ask you to lend it to me so that i can continue with the thoughts that came to me when i saw this.
By the time you read this, i'll be thruogh with wrting them down.

I think this might need a little crop. The top part is not doing too much for the photo.
Another face and another story

David: I love your reactions. If the first three lines are yours, I am even more blown away. Powerful.
George: I cropped a little bit at your suggestion. It does make for a more powerful photograph.

What a beautiful snapshot. You always seem to make ordinary people interesting. This looks like he could tell lots of good stories, he has an experienced face.

His expresson is profound.
I think that he is a deep thinker.
Maybe It's a deep despair...
Great photo.

I see quite a lot of despair in his attitude; it's rather moving, really. But, perhaps, I am projecting?
