Street Portrait

My family and I decided to make the most of the beautiful weather today and head to Heaton Park in Manchester. Whilst stopping for some lunch I happened upon this character. His son was looking after him and kept checking back that he was OK. I asked him for his portrait and he asked "why?". If I'm ever asked this I usually go with, because you're interesting! I like your style. It worked, he obliged. I took a few shots and chatted with him. In hindsight I wish I'd asked his son for his email address to email over the pic.

Excellent shot, and a warming story.

Seek him out and get the email contact, someone must know who he is. I'm sure he/they would appreciate the pic as much as you appreciated the ability to take it.

Great result.
