Deer In The lens

Black And White Photography, Don, Photography

A young mule deer. We surprised each other at the edge of a woods in a state park in Missouri. The deer stood and stared at me long enough for me to bring my camera up and grab this shot. Then it turned and bounded away.

The Weeping Man

Black And White Photography, James, Photography

Several years ago, before I jacked my job in and became a professional photographer, I worked in the city of Leeds for a law firm. There was a large court yard in the middle of several office blocks and one lunch time an elderly chap appeared sitting on a bench and weeping.

He was there every day for about 3 weeks, then he didn’t come anymore. I don’t now if anyone approached him and asked if he was OK (I didn’t – just felt that whatever he was grieving about was intensely personal and I would be intruding).
