Artist's Comments

While visiting a temple in Vietnam, I caught a glance of this man, teaching, praying and smiling all the while, despite goofy tourists everywhere. The power of a smile is almost unparalled.

I know that most people do not really appreciate this type work on DA (i hope more people subit photojournalism), but i would like people to get a chance to see some of my street portraiture...i think it is the most profound type of photography...it opens the mind to the similarities in people.

Thank you.

I think it is perfect for DA. Of course, I know other people on my watch who have pictures like these, so maybe I'm not getting the full view of art on here, but I like this style. It's neat seeing candid shots of people. I love the lighting on this one with the yellowish tones, and I love his smile :)

who cares if it's DA type work :shrug: show us more of your street photography :please:
the sunglasses don't 'fit' in... but that's not negative but an interesting detail. his smile is heart warming :heart:
