 What can I say, I'm a street photographer (or at least that's what I want to be) trapped at motorcyle shows trying to capture their individual and common flavors... This guy was talking wiht his friends about his 15 trips (or pilgramages) to Daytona Bike week, half of were shown by his row of pins on his jacket. I don't know if he even knew he was being photographed. In an attempt to be a bit different I didn't desaturate completely before I applied the sepia filter (Which I applied twice). This seems to have achieved a bit wider tonal range.

I've had this in my sites for a while, keep looking around, and I don't think I have ever seen a better photograph of ANY human being. What a face! I just want to sit down and have a conversation with this man!

THAT's what makes a good picture, in my opinion. Seriously... WOW!

This still has a bit of color in the shot, on his face and top left area. I still love the photo though!

EDIT: I am looking at this photo again on my Mac at home, and the color doesn't seem to be as apparent.
