Description
This photo is copyrighted and may not be used in any way without permission.Edmund. Paralysed on the right hand side from a knife attack to the head in Sydney, 2000 (Two stab wounds to the head). Enjoys cigarettes, loves New Zealand, appreciates Australia. I think he's Kiwi, Aussie or South African, but I'm not sure (He might actually have been born in China, but I don't think so). He's a real friendly guy when you get to talking to him. I think he used to enjoy travelling, he mentioned quite a few countries.
I'm not sure if I smelled alcohol on his breath, but I it's possible that it could have been someone else, it was a fleeting scent.
The rest of the series

My favorite of the series...I kind of wish you took each photo in the series from the same straight on perspective in the same headshot style. Very telling.

I think what makes this photo even better is his story you wrote. To me, that gives him much more depth. Personally, these kind of portraits are always better when you have their story. Really great shot

Great portrait, it feels much emotions goes through this frame. The story behind this guy is impressive and it is a story of a life. Congratulations for this shot and taking the time to listen at his story.

I love this. I think street photography makes up some of the most powerful images in existence. Of course, it also needs the story, and you have told it well.

Wow, wow, wowwowwow!
It's so refreshing to see portraits WITH a story. His face tells a story, and his life, well, the part you got, is quite remarkable.
I could see a great collection or project coming from this.
Welcome back, buddy.
