Description This is Louis. I met him today on my walk through Center City. When I first saw him, I was taken with his extraordinary looks... he was also about 4'11" tall, and he was rooting through a garbage can for food. I sat down and quietly observed him for a minute, and then he sat down next to me and began talking. He asked me where I came from, where I worked, etc., and then he asked me if I'd like to go out with him sometime. I told him maybe... I didn't want to make him sad... and he told me that he would love me and care for me forever. That made me smile. So that, in a nutshell, is Louis. I hope you're as taken with him as I am.

The eyes of a person tell a story. You managed to capture that quite beautifully. Everyone we meet has a past and a future. The one thing we all have in common is that we will always be in the present.

that's a great portrait. there's something about sportraiture that allows a camera to take someone's soul and preserve it in a photograph like this. and this shows it really well.

That's an extraordinary story! I love moments in life when you can just connect to people. As people. Having your camera there to capture such a character is very fortunate and I'm happy you were able to share your experience through your art with the rest of the world!

Simply perfect in every single way imaginable. Sincerely, I've been browsing your gallery and if I would fav'ing all the shots I would want you'd think I'm a mad man. To me, this is the best portrait of a human being that I've seen on DeviantArt. I know I am not as skilled as you are but I hope that what I said has some significance!

He has such a twinkle in his eye... like a Santa Claus or a mischievous old magician.

I would have to say, ashamedly, that i too think you have some guts. But then again, i have difficulty talking with anyone, so. : )
