I'm often asked why I chose this person or that person as a subject for my images. Almost all of my fine art work is street photography. That means that I walk around looking for the perfect subject, or that the subject comes to me. I never ask anyone to pose. Seldom are those I photography aware that their image is being captured. For me, it ensures spontaneity, a slice of life that is lost once someone becomes aware enough to start posing.
"I liked their faces," is often the answer as to why I chose certain subjects. That is certainly true of the men in the image below. A father and son, possibly, sitting on the sidewalk in Santiago Atitlan, Guatemala on a busy market Sunday this January.
I'll have more images of faces I liked in coming posts.
