An experiment of shooting my subject against the light in order to get a big difference between my subject and the background (he window) when this silhouette converted into a black & white at photoshop using calculation it turn out a mono picture.Adding a frame into the image make the image more pronounce.

I visited a local pioneer village that depicts early 19th century life, it is staffed by volunteers who dress in clothing from the period. The volunteers participate in making the outfits to the original standards using authentic material and techniques. I came upon these two having a conversation and snapped a picture. B & W seemed so appropriate for this picture.

Any feedback appreciated.

I could smell the alcohol coming off of his breath, and I was very glad that one of the guys from my group was right there.

It is my first posting to DPS assigments. Hope I have done it correctly *

I'm wondering if his asking for a photo was a call to recognise that he EXISTS. Don't you ever feel like no-one can see you? That you're invisible? I appreciate the fact the you DID take the time to photograph him. It prolly meant a lot to him.
