Hello, Philippe !
I should have a big problem to decide about a favorite !!!!
This the advantage of such a gallery, and such good friends as you ;-)
About your asking, every picture is allways preceded by a short chat, asking
for permission, and often is the source of a larger conversation.
In the case of "Man at work", he was a Russian inmigrant I knew in a port in
Spain. Despite to have not a very legal situation, he gave me his name, we had
a chat more than an hour, and he let me take a lot of pictures. Thanks to him.
And thank to you, Philippe, your feedback is invaluable.
Marc

What a wonderful gallery of portraits - a pure motley of souls inside.
Very impressive artistic and compassionate work you're showing us here
compiled.
How do you manage to do that? I mean, getting permission from total strangers
to pose for you, apparently, and conveying this sense of getting "caught" in
their very essence as human beings.
Great work.These are masterpieces:

Ted,
A fine sentence, but I only can disagree with it.
BTW, I think the B&W is often use as an easy way to achieve a more dramatic
result.

I hope the colours and clothes don't prevent to perceive their soul...
Best regards,

Hi Dave,
Yes it's mine and it's this way:
"When you photograph people in colour you photograph their clothes.
But when you photograph people in B&W, you photograph their souls!"
Mine for a great number of years.
Thanks for asking and your compliment. J

Hey Ted,
Did you coin this phrase? "If you're photographing in color you show
the color of their clothes - if you use black & white, you will show the color
of their soul"
If you did, good one. If not, do you know who did?
Dave
