Street Portrait (for and of Justin), 2013
It wasn’t just Justin’s cap and relaxed stylishness was what drew my attention to him. Look at that dog! This was the first shot I took of Justin, and the light was just right – I’ve used this alley as a background several times – it’s one of those places. Thanks very much for stopping and letting me take your portrait, Justin! Hope you like it. I’m really sorry, I forgot to ask your dog’s name very lax of me – apologies!

The Future Is Papier Mâché 
I could use one of those fluffy creatures to warm my hands at the moment. Live mittens! : )
Both your subjects look very affable.
🙂 🙂
Yes, they were – I was amazed that Justin’s dog posed for me.
Live mittens!! Brilliant! 🙂
Fantastic portrait and great subjects!!!! I like the expression of the young man and how he carefully holds the dog.
Thanks so much, Juan! Yes, Justin seemed like a really nice person. It was a very cute dog.
too cute! the dog…
Yes, indeed. Thanks very much, Inge!
Wonderful portrait!!
Thanks so much, Cornelia! That’s a lovely compliment and much appreciated.
Possibly one of my top 5 from you Richard, this is great
Wow, that’s great to hear – thanks very much, John! Just come out of a mini image-making slump, so this is really appreciated.
Oh, what a lovely image! It really made me smile. Justin looks so gentle. It’s a beautiful portrait, Richard, definitely one of my favourites. 😀
I’m really glad you like it, thanks Ashley! Justin seemed like such a nice person – he was very careful with his dog. Thanks a lot 🙂
Double street-portrait, very cool 🙂
Thanks very much, Guillaume 🙂
Wow! You sure know how to pick them! How beautiful! And his owner is also very photogenic! Nice alley, great picture! 🙂
🙂 Thanks very much, Gigi! Yes, it’s getting harder to find subjects – I’m much more picky now. I thought Justin and his dog were great.

Thanks so much, Ashley! 🙂
Great portrait – he looks a great character (although I’m not convinced about the dog, lol…) 😀
Thanks very much, Richard! 🙂
This really made me smile! What a lovely guy and very cute doggy. The light is indeed perfect! Love it.
Yes, Justin was great – really relaxed in front of the camera, and I love the dog. Thanks very much, Nancy!
Cute puppy 🙂
Oh, yes!
Well, I’m in love:) Fantastic portrait(S) Richard!
🙂 Thanks so much, Elena!
Oh I’m a sucker for photographs of people with their dogs. This one is adorable and touching!
Me too. Thanks very much, Jennifer!
What a photogenic pooch! The light in this shot casts such a beautiful glow, a stunning shot Richard!
Oh yes! Thanks very much, Patti! Much appreciated! I love it that the dog faced the camera so much when I was taking the shots.
Yes, the light is perfect. I like Justin’s style, but I like the dog more. What a cute little fellow. And he is bright and curious. A great thing in a puppy! This is a pretty, feel-good one, Richard.
Thanks very much, George. Yes, me too – very relaxed style. Thanks.
Great shot. Fab light and a nice balance between the two subjects.
Thanks very much, Stevie. Yes, it was a great afternoon light-wise (the following day too). Hoping for more tomorrow – it’s kind of forecast.
Justin has a John Boy Walton look, but the pup brings him into the current day. Could be a portrait tangent, people and their pets 😉
Yes, interesting idea! 🙂
What a sweet little dog! You’re right, the lighting is perfect for this shot. It gives a warmth to the whole portrait.
Yes, it’s brilliant isn’t it? Thanks very much, Cheryl!
