"The moment always dictates in my work. What I feel, I do. This is the most important thing for me. Everybody can look, but they don't necessarily see. I never calculate or consider; I see a situation and I know that it's right, even if I have to go back to get the proper lighting."

The lighting works well! Is he recoiling from being photographed...or...reaching for the door to the pub? ; ] best…jf

Love how you get the world to interact in these sudden moments . . it is the difference between carrying a camera and being a photographer.

The composition is very rigorous and dynamic! Two parties, two textures, but only one subject. I love it! And sidewalks are wet so photogenic, is not it? :)

A wonderful atmosphere you have here with Edwin in that rich depth of detailed shadow, and this "split view" that gives us a nice long look down the wet street. I see the rainy sidewalks and want to head straight for that Starbucks! Hey, I also love this tone in your mono. Sun is shining in Toronto, and I hope your city gets some of that too.
