WEEKEND REFLECTION--the reader in 'purple'

Not too crisp a shot, but it was from far away. Kind of cool how the sides of his head are shaved, all but for some pony tail hair.

Love it Bibi, it's amazing how many men go for that look these days! Love the splash of purple in the reflection.

Oh Bibi, street photography isn't about tack sharp, it's about the image you capture that is so fleeting. Excellent ( said with a French/southern accent) I think this has so much interest, so much to look at.
