Inspiration

Posted by Viewfinder (Bradenton, FL, United States) on 16 September 2007 in People & Portrait and Portfolio.

It's Sunday, y'all!

Here's a random walking man I saw from my car last Friday. He was crossing Cortez Blvd. and seemed on a quest to get somewhere. I think he was looking for inspiration, and it appears he may have it in his sights. Picasa-ed ("I feel lucky") for improved color; shot D80, thru my tinted windshield.

Soli Deo Gloria!

i like his smile, like maybe he did find what he was looking for - or maybe its just a darn good song ;)

The guy marches to the "beat" of a different drummer. The photographer was also in tune with his stride. It's evident by the image we see here. Excellent depth of Focus. Just perfect.

The old fella was definitely enjoying his day walking; all decked out for it and looking at life like a challenge he was ready to meet. Hope when I am older like him, that I have that same kind of youthful and ready to meet life as God gives it spirit.

Thanks all, for your comments on this one.

He's onto something! I don't understand how you got such great color thru a tinted window. You shot at just the right moment to get more than just a snapshot. There's definitely something going on here.

@#1AcePhotog: LOL. I agree; the colors are really good. Slightly (Picasa: I feel lucky) enhanced, that's all. Since taking this shot, I've noticed this same old guy walking all over Bradenton. I don't know where he's going or where he's been, but he always seems to be a cheerful sort as he goes on his way.
