In Deep Thought
He was such an easy model to work with - I bought a table cloth from his mother, at her stall on Cape Town's Greenmarket Square. He agreed to have his photograph taken. I took a number of pictures and have another one of him in my Portfolio here at OneXposure.

Critique certainly helped me here, to just fine-tune what I knew was a publish-possibility in my heart! Thanks for the note and go well.

Colmar Wocke  Stephen,

My brother-in-law and myself had gone for a beer and I took some pics of the stalls around Greenmarket Square and stumbled upon the little guy at his mothers stall - he was quite happy to pose and the most natural little model out.

Thanks for the comments and go well.

I cannot think of a more appropriate title for this far-away dreamy gaze. Indeed a touching portrait Colmar, and beautifully done.
Colmar Wocke  Andre - nice to read an endorsement from a past-master (and indeed current one) of street-portraiture! Long time coming, but so much more enjoyable for me seeing him up on the FP!
