In a Back Alley

In a Back Alley

I found this handsome dude wandering around in the back allies of Uptown Westerville last night. I took a few pot shots at him while playing around with flash. Wore me out trying to chimp and pose. I learned a few things about my flash and that you never know what you might find in a back alley. Have a great Friday.

Retired. Having fun with photography. Journal daily. Meditate daily. Learning haiku/poetry. Have a love for fountain pens.

    You never cease to impress me with your ability to take a self-portrait. Very nicely done, especially since you were wandering around in back alleys. Have a great weekend.

      It is not easy to practice when using myself as a model. I took 60 images before I felt I had some I liked. That’s a lot of chimping and walking. Enjoy the weekend!

    Nice job with the selfie 🙂 It IS exhausting running back and forth from the camera doing these. The alley makes a real nice setting.

      Actually went back there this evening for a different take on this and will post it in a day or so. And, the more we practice, the more we learn and the less trips are required. 🙂

    Monte,
    I see what you mean – that character in the back alley looks like serious trouble. I may have seen him before – maybe on a “wanted” poster signed by all his friends in the Rockys.
    Nice shot.
