#6 Tough guy on crutches. Street Portrait. Fortaleza, Brazil, 2005. Original Content

in photography •  9 years ago 

I don't know his story, his name or where he is now. This guy was always around my condo, probably living on the streets, when I was still living in Brazil. This day, I was walking around taking street photos and he asked me to take his photo. He had never talked to me before, but we definitely had crossed paths we I was taking photos. Hewalked to this yellow wall, make the pose and looked at me. Photo was done quickly and he thanked me.

I never saw him again to give him a print, or anything. The photo turned out very strong. There are thousands of stories that one can take out of this single portrait. We can tell that he had had a tough life so far.

Camera was a Yashica Electro 35 and Film was a Fuji Superia 200.
